cam and carb question

i agree, except he should go 2 1/2" exhaust.. just in case he wants to go to a larger engine later.
shouldn't hurt anything.
cheers

I second that. The 2-1/4 is fine but the 2-1/2 woill not hurt really.

I'm running something similar. Crane cam; 272/284 (@ .050= 216/228) .454/.480 lift on a 112 C-line. Idles very stock like with a power band from *I think * it was 1300 - 5400 rpm.

600 carb, LD4B intake, hooker headers, 2-1/2 exhaust, electric fan, orange box ignition, open air cleaner. 904/3.21 gears in a 8-1/4.

Untuned, sort of, it went 15.15 @ 98 mph. Spun tires out of the hole. Theres 14's in it. OH, engine; stock otherwise 1978, 318, low, er, dead compresion engine with mega mega miles.
(Over 300,000 when the OE owner stoped recording in 1989)
