The RPM intake is set up for a Qjet carb

Why a carb when TBI EFI is almost the same money these days?

New out of box carb, Quickfuel 750 Slayer or Street Demon 750. One of the bolt EFI's is another option, the CCC 307 distributor can work for timing control. Did you use 2"/1.625" W31 valves? Which Howard's cam? What octane are you running? You have a minimum of 9.6 to 1, with 0 deck and any milling on the heads you could be near 10.5 to 1. I have used the Scorpion roller rockers, they are high quality. Sounds like a nice 350.

Contact Cutlassefi for a roller cam. Use the Cloyes billet roller 9 way timing set and degree the cam. You also need a thrust button/bolt to control cam movement. What stall/trans and rear gears?
