Great to see after all the work making room for an FE, you are going to stick a KC sideoiler in it. I would recommend a port matched Edelbrock Victor w/ the 4bbl. Polish up a turkey pan and stick under when you want the looks. What roller are you going with?

I'm having the short block built locally - the guy building it is a local legend around here, he's been doing almost noting but FE's for 30 years or so. I like what Keith has done in the cam and heads dept, so I'll be sourcing both from him. He's been extraordinarily helpful and patient with my many questions over the months leading to the final decision to go FE and I think it would be unconscionable not to give him some business for his trouble.
I'm actually in the process of trying to get in touch with Keith for the final cam selection. I haven't bought it yet but I have to get it on the way soon. I'm always up in the air during the week for work, and I guess Keith is closed for business weekends when I'm off, so it's very hard to hook up by phone. I'll get him one day next week and get the ball rolling. I was wondering what carb to use, so I was hoping in the meantime you guys might have some input.
