Off topic: I finally pulled the trigger and ordered all the parts, gaskets and porting bits, etc., to remove the ridges from my combustion chambers. My valves are severely shrouded. I'm certain to feel a performance boost. Lower c.r. slightly too. I'm finally bringing the valve spring, rocker, p.rod geometry to correct parameters. Because the over-size vales were longer than oem, I've needed longer p.rods to compensate. Now, with roller rockers I'll be able to test and compensate. It will also be interesting--hopefully not expensive--to see how my guides have worn.

A video of it running probably next year bud. I have planned to pull the engine to replace the remain and oil pan gasket this time with the one piece, and the remain I want to try the modular rear main seal with the double lip maybe clean up the engine bay a bit. Ive always had a feeling that my engine is burning oil I know it leaks it but I wanted to do maybe a compression test. I also have been on the search of a older 300 head to put bigger valves and roller rockers but that doesn't look like it will be happening but I could always dream haha.

Ive always wanted to see a video of your engine maybe a burnout video haha

Do you have a link or info about that seal?

I see Summit dropped the price of the 1848 Holley. I'm throwing together one more Quadrajet, 800 cfm (the primary side is actually equal to the cfm of the primary side of a 390), but if I'm not happy with it, or it takes 50 more tries of removing the top and dialing it in, I may just beat it with a hammer and buy an 1848. I found a QJ that came on a 231 turbo v6 regal, and just have to dial it up a bit.
