Thanks for making me aware of your photos. They were great. Your engine is a bit more built than what I plan.

I was wondering how you like the performance, compared with a v8. Also, if you have any experiance with Pony Carbs, in N. Mexico.

As I am planning this project--changing from a 390 to a 300 inline, a lot of friends are trying to talk me out of it. But the durability and simplicity of the 300 appeals to me.

I will most likely be going with .030 bore, balanced, high comp. pistons, mild RV type cam from Cliffords, with their four barrell intake, an autolite 4100 carb, DUI distributor, and ported head milled .020, and the block decked .010, with a good set of headers.

Behind that I am putting a '92 AOD trans. I am hoping to have plenty of power and feul economy. It is a daily driver.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
