I've already had the frame off!

I need to re-read this thread from the beginning I think.
That comp cam is the same cam I had in my 8:1 350. It's not a cam that does well in a SBB. Unless you port the sh*t out of the heads they need more emphasis on the exhaust in terms of duration and lift to get most out of it. Straight pattern cams don't do well in a SBB in general. If they used a crower level 3 it would've given a bit more hp at a higher rpm. They used chevy logic on a SBB. SBB can easily benefit from an 800cfm qjet they came with stock. 600cfm is just plain too small for a sbb.Guess it all depends on the flavor of the build. I'm inclined to give up a little power in favor of decreased underhood noise and increased resistance to leaks. Few things sound worse to me than header leaks. Plus I like the better ground clearance of factory manifolds.
That Hot Rod 350 was a nice combo. All that fat, flat torque right where you use it would be a perfect cruiser. Wonder how it would have differed with a Qjet?
They've been on there for a while. I like them quite a bit more than the Chevy rallies. I only have the tires because they were free but actually the white walls are growing on me.AHHH Buick wheels ......finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
