Just rambling....

Interesting...Sort of sounds like what a buddy had in his 442. Was one of the most trouble free "hot rods" I was ever around....Not talking factory heads, but not full cnc prepped either. Perhaps just Edelbrocks with just a bit of clean up, a very mild hydraulic roller etc. SUre it will jack up the $$ but why not take advantage of some modern day tech stuff?


Here's a key right there. If you put some thought into the cam, you can pull off a combo that will really work for you. You might even think about taking away from some of that low end torque and put the power band all into the mid range.
