Well the carb is like a 750 cfm edelbrock with a stock cam and stock engine so not only is it adjusted wrong but that seems way oversized to be throwing on something stock. I'm sure plenty of people could make it work but that seems like too much carb to me.
As far as the good wrench engine, I've looked at those many times on Jegs and always been interested but I'm not sure about shelling out that kind of money IF I am able to salvage the block, which I believe I can if I take the time and clean it up. My main reason behind that is the odds are at some point down the road, assuming I don't pick up other projects, I will want a big block engine in this truck. Right now I can justify that sort of spending and really don't have the free spending money yet but in a few years or longer, it is a definite possibility.
