427 FE What do you think?????

I've followed all you stuff---- and you have too many factors that aren't compatable

You want a street car ---that should be the primary focus
You want a street car thats fun to drive--almost primary focus

You want the WOW factor at car shows-----this should be down the list somewhat

A FE ford engine will idle decently( to me decently is steady thumpie beat that stays in an rpm range and doesn't search around)

A cam with anywhere from 550 -600 lift will give you all the power that can be put to the ground in a stock bodied/stock suspension 90 inch wb vehicle

If you want more track performance on a car that can be driven to the track/show, work on the brakes/suspension/shocks

Get rid of the webbers---an engine with headers and intake manifolds with out phlemun or 180* tuning isn't streetable--Timed fuel injection is a different story
You probably have one bad carb that is causing all your grief and could probably be isolated with a fifth carb and just start changing them one at a time
Another issue with FE engines is the routing of the plug wires---you CANNOT have 7 & 8 running parallel --must be separated

I'm sorry to see that you aren't having fun, but just back away from the car----look at it from across the shop and think---If I can only change one thing to fix this, what is my best option????
