Way back in the early 70's when Jack Roush was into Drag Racing that 4 door Maverick he put on a seminar and stated the same thing about over polishing the intake ports. Stated to match port the intake to heads , remove any big goobs and leave the rest of the head intake ruff. He was racing a Ford , but to me at that time made sense.

My shop might have looked like that back in 1926 when it was built as a car dealership. It's only 10,000 square feet though, small by todays standards. Extra room? nope !!!!!!!.

Lmao, well thanks again guys, much appreciated.

10k sq/ft is mega! Having an old car dealer as a shop sounds awesome.

Nice Clean Looking Shop!. I Know This Is a Mopar Site but I love that Caddy! I have one of those Bailey electric magnetic brakes as well. They're pretty sweet

Thanks again guys smile

Yes I don't use the Baileigh tools that often but definitely nice to have when you need it.

I don't have much of an update with the holidays but parts are coming in......

Are you using Edelbrock EFI or just the manifold? I've not seen too many positive reviews of their EFI when coloring outside the box they usually play in and that roller seems a good bit down the road and around the corner from that box.

I'm using (well intend to use) their EFI. Part # 35670

I followed the pro flo 4 forum for a while and it seemed mostly positive feedback. Some guys running cams with 7-8in vacuum at idle with no reported issues.

System is rated at 825hp so you would think it could take some cam......but if not, I'll change the ecu it to something with full access to all parameters. (Dominator?)

Would still be able to use the entire setup minus the ECU and wiring harness and it's not a bad deal for those parts alone at the price I bought it for.

Progress still verrrry slow. I'm told the short block should be ready for assembly next week. Also finally have flow numbers so I will get to work on the camshaft. From SF600 flow bench.

Very nice, but that pool table is taking up space for another Mopar.

1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible Paxton Boosted 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 3.91's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I'd sell the caddy and keep the pool table but the black cloth has gotta go.

Haha, can't sell the Caddy. Might eventually move the pool table to the basement but have 2 other garages so not out of space (yet).
