I'm curious why the notch exists in the first place? Is there a functional reason for it, or just a design change from LA -> Magnum Block?

Resurrecting an old thread, but I think this is a great place to keep this information in one spot. I'm undergoing this issue right now. I am using a Magnum Block, M302 Kevko Pan, and a LA Timing cover. There seems to be 3 methods that I've been reading about: 1) Method One...

I didn't ask your opinion about how you felt about comp cams. I didn't ask your opinion about whether you like hydraulic rollers or not. It was your choice to come **** on these things that will not change. In-fact, I don't want your opinion at this point, so please scroll by. What I am asking...

Wow, this thread is going nowhere on answering my question. It went from having to describe I have a magnum, to saying I have to get a custom cam otherwise nothing will work (hogwash), to 110 will not work with exhaust manifolds so I should get a less efficient 114 cam (hogwash), and to now...

Sorry about that, yep, the "XR". Kinda confusing because they are "XR" in the "XE" line, heh! I want something very street-able, but also can unleash. My hopes for this build is getting into the 13s while still looking very stock. Hope to have something very durable as well. Like a little bit...

Thanks. Yes, I believe they are roller rockers as well. My builder would like me to stick with a comp cam on that list. I don't necessarily want to "optimize" for my stock manifolds, but I don't want something to seem wrong or incorrect. Like I stated the manifolds are there for the near to...

I have read as much as I could about the 274, but it's a little inconclusive because lots of people are throwing it into 300-350 CUI engines. I would think a 408 would treat it different. I will be ordering new lifters with the XE274 (or whatever I decide). Going to stay with hydraulic roller...

Hi everyone, These place has always been a superb wealth of information. I thought I would also ask you guys for advice again. I'd like to confirm one last thing: Cam + converter. I am hoping to reuse my factory 1970 "high stall" converter from my 340. The specs in the FSM shows that it has a...

Done!

Haven't swapped the electric choke on there yet, but here's my desk build of my period-correct 340 stuff! Curious if there's any "seat of the pants" feel of this setup after tuning over stock '70 340 Intake and stock 630 AVS carb. I always liked the idea/design of AVS carbs vs AFB carbs. If...

Got it. $50. Looks like a decent AFB. All choke stuff intact. I’ll swap next week!

Nope, didn't send much else. I requested pic from seller of choke area + linkage. He's sending soon. I'll fwd it when it comes in. Should bolt right up...

I found a AFB on Craigslist with electric choke. Will post updates when I have it and start doing the transplant.

Or just cave in and buy the Edelbrock kit....which I’ll probably do. Throw away the rest.
