If so ... some questions:
- How do you like it ... how does it run?
- Any issues?
- Where did you purchase it?
- How is it set up ...
- Carb
- Intake Manifold
- Cam
- Lifters
- Distributor
- Oil Pan
- Comments ... Suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey, Tim I just saw your questions and so I will do my best to answer them. First is the carb is a double pump, Holley. Nothing special. Intake is a Cobra Hi-rise manifold. I didn't degree the cam so I can't comment on the cam but the lifters are just hydraulic lifters. No roller lifters, nothing at all to make me think hi-performance. Distributor? It has a stock dist in it because the HMI dist won't work on this motor using that intake manifold. Dist is too big and won't sit down in there like it is supposed to. The whole thing is kinda depressing really. Nothing special except for it has a 10-quart
oil pan on it. Hope this helps, also I did a longer assessment below.
