1jimmy__d · 11-30-2002, 09:33 PM

loking to start fresh for next summer. What do you think of this combo, how much is all this going to be? AND what are some phone numbers to call and order from?

306 short block
AFR 165 heads
Edelbrock Performer RPM (intake)
Cam from somewhere

Am I missing anything?

What do you think she will run on street tires?

OR Should I just buy a crate motor? GT 40 (345 hp)

Thanks for all replies- I need some serious advice. THis wont be cheap!

I'm running the edelborck performer intake and I did a carb conversion already. It's not that hard at all: you'll need a mechanical fuelpump and do some surgery with the throttle linkage, but it's not bad at all. Runs pretty well too, even in the winter.

I'm stuill running a stock longblock so I dont have any thoughts on the heads or cam, but more is always better
