I knew that you folks would be a tremendous resource and help answer most of my questions. Several of the things mentioned are just what I was looking for. I do want to maintain a stock look basically but think that from the head standpoint I'm leaning to the 6X4's, primarily because of the available fuel (by the time I start driving there won't be a huge choice of options in the area I'll be living in).
It seems as though using 16 or 62 heads would require more juggling. Am I correct or misinterpreting the info?
I'm curious with your sons FB, DMAC, did he have to dent the firewall? I can still do that prior to painting, if I get this put together in the next little while.
I've talked with several people who had trouble with both Hedman and Hooker when it came to clearance. Is that common or not? Also, several years ago I had a set coated in Tempe, AZ at Jet Hot (I don't that site on the net anymore, at least not in Tempe) and they were great. Any feedback on coating? That engine was build by Terry Bland in Tucson at the time.
I also like the Icon pistons the more I look and think that they'll be the choice. I'll do some more checking on the Probe's.
Also, probably end up going the Melling/Rhoads route with the 5 speed.
I think that I'll switch over to the RA4 intake manifold and go with a Q-jet.
I guess in keeping with more or less stock look, which air cleaner should I look for - single or dual snorkel or will that cause a clearance issue? Does anyone have a part number to look for?
This is still a work in progress and I've some time yet, so if there's more I should be considering please let me know. Thanks again...
