chomama1: Sounds like a fun project. 302 as well? I'm thinking of 44 IDF Webers, but I go back and forth between that, which would require a lot of tuning, and a Performer RPM with a Holley double-pumper. However, most guys with Webers tell me they get them set up (usually, with some difficulty), but once you get them tuned, you rarely have to mess with them.

But, it sounds like you "get it", meaning you have an engine that is sound but you'd like to fit some upgrades, for a little more power and a lot more fun.

You planning on doing yours yourself?

On the whole bottlebrush hone take the engine out argument: I think it really comes down to this: What's the worst that can happen? Whatever that might be some learning took place and somebody cut their teeth. How do you learn anything? I love books, but you really need to roll up your sleeves (book in one hand) to apply book-learning to gain working knowledge.
