Cam and carb selections

IMO skip the TQ unless you are a guru and already know how to tune one. It will cause headaches otherwise. At one point I had a stone stock bottom end 318 with a 904 and a cheap 2600 converter. Stock cam. On top was a street dominator Holley intake and a 3310 vacuum secondary Holley. Cheap swap meet headers and 2-1/2” dual exhaust. Stock diff and if I remember 2.76 gears. All in a 72 dart. That was a fun little engine and extremely reliable. Surprised a lot of people. I recently gave that engine away after it sat in my garage for 10 years and it’s still chugging along.
