okay guys i know this is not where ishould post. but i have not figured out this website yet... but if you could help i would appreciate it...

I have a 1987 monte carlo with a 1972 350 small block motor (stock), with a performer intake, worked heads(do not know the size), with a 700r trans with 2,500 stall converter. I have a 750 holly sitting on top. many people said this is crazy... is there a way to make it work. Or would a 600 holly or 670 holly avenger be better. i plan to put more work in the motor as time goes on so i was thinking the 670. im thinking im at about 300 hp or a little less. what do youthink. i run a 14 second quarter mile with perfect start. let me know what you think about my horsepower, and carb thank you very much

A 600 would be a much more efficient carb for your engine--either Holley or Edelbrock would both be a good choice.

Oh yeah, and welcome to CHR!!!!

thank you. horsepower sound about right?

Should be real close on the hp figure

whats my best bet to get it up more horsepower by easy add ons? anything? i do not have computer or anything on motor. i have a bottle of nos and the set up how much could that drop my time? on what kind of shots? im only 18 and this is my first build or drop in motor you could call it. really appreciate it

Dae the bulk orders are what we shoot for too. Saves a lot on shipping, when we split the costs. Plus a few places ship free for orders over 150(on ammo)!

Had enough spare time to get the trunk lid for the Olds repaired and in primer, too! It was about the same condition as the rest of the pieces but it came out fine! Now the parts can hang out in the shop til it's time to do the shell and the hood. The owner is doing some chassis work, should have the car up here in a few weeks!

Also helped my pal Craig do some straightening on one of the front fenders for the '49 Chevy Pick-em-up project he's starting on. Fenders are in tough shape, Craig sez it'll be a good learning experience for him on body work!!! Gotta admire that attitude!!!!

I feel like your friend, Craig.....

Nice work on the Cutlass!

Yeppers Dave looks like you knocked out some metal while waiting . Been in limbo here a few weeks again ,

Dave those old fenders can be a pain, when I did my 38 chevy I thought I'd never finish it was like sanding a bowling ball trying to not have flat spots.

Got my pal Mike's '60 Buick in the shop now. Some holes in the trunk to fix, paint the inside of the hood, fix up a few bad spots, then clear, cut, and buff. Very nice old car, still has the nailhead in it, too!!!!

That's a cool ride, Dave! Is that an Invicta?
