Intentions for car are primarly drag racing, will drive to local car shows and to work occasionaly.




questions are on these:

What single plane intake to get.... proffessional product any good?
What ratio rocker arms 1.5 or 1.6 or split them 1.5 and 1.6?

Professional Products only for the extremely stretched budget. RPM Air Gap or Victor Jr.

At least a 750 mechanical secondary carb. 650 is going to hurt you on the top end.

Re: 406 final assembly

not bad build.. def. a 750 DP.. Vic jr with a port match to heads.. 4.11's should be good.. if piston to valve clearance allows, i would go with the 1.6's
