Just trying to stay realistic here.

I like the idea of Webers, but a new 347 stroker isn't in the budget at the moment. Webers definately has "fun" written all over it, and when I pop the hood it would certainly increase the impression ratio...

Surprised I didn't get some engine-building tips, though. Part of this is learning about my engine, and what goes into building one.

So, I guess I'm back to reading through my "How to" book on SBF's... unless somebody wants to pipe in with some engine building knowledge?

What kind of tips are you looking for? Personally, I would throw a set of heads and a cam in your current engine and have fun.
