Cliff, my Q-JET [you had built for me when I had a differnt cam] is now the SDPERFORMANCE Stump Puller.
The engine is a 400/462,just under 10.1comp.
SDPERFORMANCE [Ruggles] cast intake.
RamAir Restorations Ram Air manifolds[ceramic coated]
2 1/2 XPYPES exhaust.
The carb is that later year Buick 800 cfm with the APT adjustment.
Just a note to those reading this, I too at one time bought a Q-JET from Jegs,it did have the chevy fuel inlet and the carb ran like crap.
I did send it to Cliff [6yrs ago-ish] and he had a list of things not done to the carb as to where half the carb was working. [it was a piece of junk]
Cliff did repair the carb and it was great. But just think of all the added xtra cost of buying a newly-rebuilt carb and having to send it out to be made right.
Cliff is worth the wait
