Re: help!!!!
850cfm Holley DP on a 355? Wow, that sounds like way too big of a carb. Is this a blown motor or high RPM setup? Most mild 350's would be fine with 600-650cfm.
Gas in the oil is caused by poor ring seal or operating without a PCV valve if I'm not mistaken.

Re: help!!!!
Changing the jet size will only tune the air/fuel ratio. 750 cfm would probable be the best size, but can't say for sure without knowing more about your parts combo.

Solid lifters? Do you mean flat tappet, non-roller lifters? Or, are you sure they are solid lifters?
Sounds like it was built for high RPMs. Or, at least they thought they were building it for high RPMs.
