Sweet Ryan!! Sounds like that engine will be in there in no time then. Also looks like I know who to get with on tires later

Good news indeed.
One question, why a Dave Ray distributor? Why not a MSD? Dave's distributors are good I guess, but my vote is MSD, hands down. No comparison in quality IMO. You do know that MSD has distributors that are not HEI, right?

bascially the same reason i'm going with a tpc built 750 holley vacuum secondary. i give ty all my specs on the motor and the application and he builds the carb specifically for it, so takes the intimidation out of tuning a holley, truley bolt on and go.
