Looking at the lobes on the camshaft its a decent sized cam for a low compression 350 .... And your oil pressure? It probably has a 45LB pump in it so don't expect more than that

Thanks for the info! I am new to the car scene, I have been a motorcycle technician for almost ten years now so I appreciate any insights on the car stuff haha the engine is a 68' "WK" block with 68' #18 heads which if my memory serves me correct were not "low compression" and sat @ 10.5:1 I maybe mistaken though. I was running 15w-40 T4 but have since switched to 20w-50 VR1 and oil pressure sits around 40-45psi.

Congrats on getting the car to reliable fashion. I think the Rallye II's are gonna look great.
Black would be cool, but I think that color combination is pretty cool itself and cleaned up it looks pretty decent. Instead of the expense of a repaint, have you thought about having a detailer bring what's there back to life as far as it can be? It'll have some patina, but that's cool these days.

Torker I worked well for me on 4.21" stroke, when the plenum-upper was opened to unshroud the carb bores and blend the runner ceilings, and port-match. Is a lot of grinding that other manifolds play as-good without the grind.
Ima favor the Dual-Plane manifold for Street-Strip now though because i sold all my intakes.
