Hi Jim,
Neither do most of us, unless required to use electronic fuel
injection for SMOG purposes. We go so... much quicker with the Holley
850 double pumper: http://www.----------.com/holleySite.jpg
Or 750 CFM they chose to dyno this create motor:

Well, I called Advance Adapters and the gear's on the way. They said that
I'd need to do "extensive" modifications. Possibly to the firewall and

about lowering the crossmember?
