Thanks for the advice on cam and carbs.
The reason I'm going with the SD intake is that I already had one on the 383, so I figured I could save a buck or two by just using that. Same with the carb.
Thank you Streetwize for the kind words regarding the build... Being 21 years-old and on my first real solo build, its good to have some reassurance coming from someone with as much experience as y'all
Just so y'all know, the build is just about complete and hopefully I'll get it running strong this weekend. Do y'all think 11's are out of the question?
