Advise well taken on the filter, Fred T.

I'll be using a new Edelbrock 500 cfm, 4 barrel carburetor. I've been told that it's a bit too large for a stock cam, so it will probably be jetted down some for optimum use. The engine is .060 over, which yields 301 ci so I don't expect any major problems with the Edelbrock.

The headers required some work - some bending with the hammer on the #1 & #2 exhaust, and quite a bit of grinding down the flanges in order for the intake manifold to fit and bolt up just right.

The only thing I'm missing for optimum performance is a mild cam, which I revisiting for the second time. :confused:
