For your situation this would be a bit too much I think. It would work... but the idle is a bit lumpy and smelly. Not subtle.

As a guess, around 220-230 degrees and 112 LSA would fit the need... especially considering the rest of the Jensen powertrain including rear ratio was designed for a stockish big block.


Thanks, it's great to get real numbers that come from experience.
And your numbers seem to align with Streetwize's recommendation. It looks like you're right: Something just a little bit less that yours will probably be just right.

Right now, I'm thinking mid 230's w/ a 112LSA or lower 230s on a 110.
