    340 edelbrock build

    wow ,that edelbrock cam must really suck. I bought it when I seen the edelbrock package made 417 horsepower (I got sucked in). I guess I have to go with the comp 280. its a 4 speed so I don't have to worry about torque converter. as far as rockers go , still thinking about Hughes and comp and...

    I noticed the price of those head gaskets, thats why I wanted to run the felpro. engine has rpm air gap intake and tti headers.

    340 edelbrock build

    What Brand Carburetor?????

    I tend to lean to a holly. For most that aren't really good with carbs they tend to be more user friendly. However, the carter and edelbrocks are fine also. are you buying new, or have one on the shelf ? maybe a TQ ?? good luck

    Kind of worried about these online 727s

    find someone local. I've seen too many transmissions with a fancy name that are nothing but a stock unit with a high price tag. good luck
