You're moving right along on this. I think the window channels are the only solid thing on my car

Updates???
Winter finally arrived in South Dakota, so not much car action right now. Progress will continue when it gets a little warmer.

Scott, a word to the wise.....stay away from the 1406 Edelbrock carb.
It's an emissions carb.
You'll be miles ahead if you go with the new AVS2 Edelbrock carb.
My good buddy had the 1406 on his 69 Dart with a 340 for years.
No matter how much we fiddled with the metering rods and springs, he was never happy with it.
The engine has a cam and headers and has 3:55 out back.....couldn't light the tires to save his life....
Also, that carb would boil the fuel out of it in no time and he had to crank it over a thousand times to get fuel back up and into it.
Plus, it stank up his garage....
So, I suggested the AVS2 and he bought one.
Literally, out of the box...plop it on the intake, setup the idle mixture and curb idle & take it out for a test drive.
Now it lights the tires with no problem......score!
Also no more boiling the fuel and no more stinky garage.
Google the reviews for the AVS2 - so far everyone is impressed with it including me and I hate Edelbrock carbs..
If you want to stick with the older carb then get the 1405 as its more performance orientated whereas the 1406 is not.

Interesting, this is the first bad review I have heard on the 1406. I have heard that the secondaries do dry up quickly when stored, so you have to get on it a couple times when you first get it out to get the initial hesitations out of the way. But once you get that done its golden. I also saw that it is incredibly easy to swap out the metering rods so that fine tuning is a breeze. I will check out the AVS2 tho - it sounds like a good option.

He's right he knows what he's talkin about and he's a good friend of mine if I never steer you wrong dude my question is that why do you stroked at 3:18 if you stroke it will be 390 in cubic inches 450 horsepower on the dino dude not bad for a small block

I got the bottom end very cheap and already assembled, so I will save a bunch of money just putting it together and enjoying the driver that I have always wanted. It was my buddy Jeremy's race engine that he used for part of a season on the dirt track. It has a 340 cam, and has some very fresh swirl port heads. Combine that with the aluminum 4 barrel and a nice carb, and it will be putting out a little more than the stock 230HP it was originally born with. I do have another 318 block that I will likely build to 350+ HP down the road.
