Man, I love the look of that motor. And with 50's!! Makes me drool.

 

Don't tell me you have one of the factory headers too.

I thought the same thing about the removable chokes. They came with 43mm and I purchased a set of 41mm. I didn't notice much difference in the lower rpm range but it definitely hampered the top end. Perhaps it is because of the cam I use. It also has an aluminum flywheel and a 4.88 posi.

 

 

Interested in this cam. But also considering the Schnieder 300f. Can you tell me where the real powerband is? Isky doesn't list them and Schnieder seems a bit optimistic. What is your redline?

My 48 DCOE's have 42 chokes, and I am building a 1 3/4 header with a merged collecter and a megaphone. I have 4.88 posi as well (Lincoln locker)

I have the idle around 1200. It starts pulling hard around 3500 and the rev limiter is set at 8000. I pulled out the distro and use an Electromotive crank fire unit.

That thing must be so much fun with that whole set up and gear set.

If by factory you mean the stock unit, I have one but they tend to crack and I didn't see a way to wrap then. I opted for a 4 in to 1 standard header.
