Fired it up today!!!

Here is what I have

68 318 block .030 over
KB 167 pistons .005 down
.039 felpros
Scat I beam rods
Balanced rotateing assy (very light)
273 2bbl solid cam, lifters and rockers
full grooved mains
302 casting heads with all sharp spots smoothed down
LD4b intake
850 thermo-quad
904 LU with low 1st and 2nd
2.76 gears
No PS No AC
Electric fan
TTI step headers
10 degrees at idle and 30 total and no vacume advance yet, I don't want it detonateing when I can't here it because of the exhaust.

and that is where it ends, no exhaust after the hearers. It revs real quick but it is sounding lean over 3500 rpm with a bunch of bucking and coughing. It hesitates if you hit it too hard also. I will try doing some carb tuneing tommorow. I may try to get an exhaust on it first though.

What size pipes should I run on this thing, any thoughts???

Any other sugestions???


I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
