What kinda performance are you looking for?
Plan to spend about $3,000 to $4,000 when all is said and done... meaning the Motor is Turn-key and ready to drop in.
Still planning that build up? Good man, fill me in on what exact info i gave you about a build up... i cant remember.
As for the Edlebrock Vs Holley Debate...
Edlebrock makes good Intakes, they're heads are decent but can be bought cheaper elsewere... all the rest of their stuff is just copies of other things... Edlebrock's Carbs are cool for the everyday racer, they're just a basic Q-Jet... minimal adjustments to dick with. All you get is Idle and basic air-fuel tuners.
Holley makes everything... they own Wieand Intakes, Hooker Headers, the Company NOS, Lunati, and a few other randoms. From them you can make the most kickass motors.
Holley Carbs are my personal choice, a little pricey.. but you get a great carb. My 750cfm Dbl Pump, Dbl Feed 4bbl with mechanical Secondaires was just under $400. A Edlebrock 750cfm 4bbls with Vaccuum Secondaires is like $250. (if you have a question about Vaccuum Vs Mechanical Secondairies ill be glad to answer it for you.)
Edlebrocks stuff is mainly all for show, nice and pretty. You pay a bit more for some of their stuff than you need to. But, it does look good.
Holley products may not have the glossy looks, but they perform.
So yea...What kind of Performance you looking for?
ill give ya tips from here to the moon... just give me a guide line of where to stop... haha or i'll start talking about alcohol eating small blocks...
