That's a bad motor for being carborated 
. I still have a picture of that engine, dirty as crap with that nice new super charger on it. I need to scan a pic of my 2.9L when it was on the stand, it was spotless. What kind of internals you runnin' in that?

What kind of rocker arms are you running, I dont think the stockers will hold up to that spring pressure without cracking or wearing out the shaft. What compression ratio are you running? What size valves are you running? With the size of those intake ports, even if they are ported to the max, I doubt youll even get close to 9000 RPM with that engine. What psi are you going to be running?
