    intake swap performer loss?

    I'll get hammered for this, but is a cowl induction scoop legal for the class you will be running. I'd really like the Stealth if possible.

    Crossover Tube and Valve Spring Pressure Questions

    This. You have plenty of spring imo. My buds 340 crossed the finish line a hair over 7k with a similar setup. 273 rockers and ran a Torker to boot. :) As far as the oil mods, as long as have 6qt+ oil capacity, i don't think it's needed.

    Loud pop and sputter on WOT? 68 318 Barracuda

    SMH......No one has asked how stock or old the short block is. Can you say timing chain?

    Low speed torque and driveability ?

    Aren't all these posted torque charts run at WOT? To me, drivability means nice/smooth bottom end acceleration with the least amount of throttle opening. I'm still sticking with my ''big inch/long arm theory.....:)

    Demon non-option question

    My Uncle bought a new red 71' 198ci in Maryland that mirrors yours almost exactly except it was a 3spd.

    Low speed torque and driveability ?

    Imo, big cube long stroke engines with mild cams deliver the best compromise. Anyone that's driven the older stock GM 455's knows what i'm talking about.

    For the guys that like to play with numbers.

    Probably has a 245 head on it. Love to see the piston dome. Gotta love those willing to put that money into a Sportsman build these days.

    Plum Crazy or Citron Yella?

    Buy the one that has the most original parts and the least amount of rust. Both are rare these days.

    Will the 7576 intake fit a stock 318 with stock 318 heads

    Fit...Yes. There will be some port mismatch, still a nice gain over a stock 2bbl intake.

    Did They Make Square Bore AVS Carbs Made That Only Had The Small Bolt Pattern On The Base Plate?

    I believe all the AFB/AVS carbs had similar base plates. You may need to look at the real early WCFB's if that's important to you.

    Suggested spark gap for .......

    I'd start at .040 if it was mine. 45 should be fine thou.

    64 barracuda 273

    If the 67's are 920 castings, they have equivalent chambers to your stock heads. No perf benefit, but allows the use of any small port late intake.
