Most likely carb was tuned to dial the air fuel ratio in. Those carbs tend to be lean out of the box and need bigger jets to richen them up a bit especially for a 340 with aftermarket cam. Given the posted dyno numbers I bet shop dialed in the carb. That is normal procedure when dyno tuning...

Beautiful car

Never heard of a head being clogged on a fully rebuilt engine? So did shop go out find another head? Or did they take it apart unclog it put it back together? And they sent you home with a clogged block?

So a cylinder head cracked on the dyno and they charged you extra to put another cylinder head on the engine? Is that what happened?

Highly likely Summit could be sued selling counterfeit parts. But great to see Summit do the right thing and stop selling them.

So you found the car that was supposed to have been parted out?

I bought a reproduction heat shield 15-20 years or so back still bolted onto my 340. They were reproducing them and they were readily available years back. Maybe the stamps wore out? Just like 340 manifold were reproduced then stopped. Don't know but I think people will pay up for...

I ran 650 AVS 2 on my stock '69 340 years back. Had to increase jet size and put bigger accelerator pump nozzle in. After that it worked great.

All I know is its near impossible to find a shop to do high quality work like that for any price. And to turn it around in that time frame very unusual. Unfortunately most cars go to shops don't get done or don't get done right and have to be pulled out and sent somewhere else. Great to see...

I blacked it out:

Back in 2008 I did my engine compartment body color with custom mixed cans of spray paint. Looks great but lacks the durability of 2k paint, chips scratches and stains easily. Since then I did a bunch of other engine compartments 2k paint and detail gun. Detail guns don't require as much air...
