Chaplin,

Only a few things. I am glad I have not upset anyone. To your point. First thing a 351W 2v has a carb that flows in the area of 400cfm that means you would need to use a 800cfm 4 barrel to get the same front primary size. I do agree that a large primary is not good for daily driving. I never said I would put a 1150 on a small block as ti is way to large. The point I was trying to make is that "I feel" the 650 is a bit small for the engine he is talking about. The polish job is going to add air flow and a larger cam is going to add to that. The 650 is more than likely a double pump and is going to flood out the engine ever so slightly when it goes from running the fronts to opening the rears. Also the carb would seem a bit small to me in total cfm. Sorry that is just what I have found after years of building engines.
The 650 may be just fine for a bone stock engine but it was my understanding that he had more in it than that.
