Torque + Fuel economy

I had no reason or desire to leave any of the "stock stuff" in place regarding carb or ignition. the only "stock" (original) piece on mine would be the coil. Everything on mine is "stock" but "stock" for at least a 5 year older (or more) truck. Im headed for an engine that is 11 years older than the truck itself, and it will not be stock.... Lots of "stock components" but for various years of teh slant 6, mixed in with a couple of non stock goodies.... mainly the cam and head/ which are stock pieces, but not stock as stock was, when they left the factory. The cam is headed to oregon for a regrind, the head is ported now and will be getting a shave and oversize valves.
add a stock from a different year Super 6 intake, an "opened up" stock exhaust manifold, and a stock for a 318, NOS BBD carb...... so yeah... it will be "mostly stock" when done.
