I've seen full lengths free up an easy 17-20rwhp.

I'm a boneyard hound, I find stuff all the time. I will have an extra set of Euro cams, pistons, etc. I just need the FI head is all...

Finally found a decently complete one, $61. So I'll see what happens.

What ever happened with your carb rebuild and/or header project? Just curious.

I have the carb kit, I need to pull it and send it off. A good friend of mine is going to go through it. He believes it to be the accl pump or a good old internal vac leak.

If that doesn't work, I'll go after that swap kit for the Holley.
