Thanks pokey1.
I really appreciate the detailed answers.
I am about to send the 3 Rochester 2bbl carbs to Dick Boneske and the engine build and cam specs to him to work his magic on them.
Because of time constraints and a good reputation, I had All American Carburetors "restore" the Rochesters, but they rebuilt them to stock specifications and that just doesn't work for the level of build of thev421.
I am definitely hoping that that does the trick and we get the most out of the engine performance wise, and my wife doesn't have reliability problems.
Should I get screaming calls from yet another failure to start when hot, or any other carburetor specific problem that can't be tuned or tweaked to resolve, a 3x2 EFI system is the next and final solution, but that comes at a significant price.
