: My real concern is what will the modifications
: this guy made do to the reliability of a /6?
: I've heard from years ago that a carb over
: 390 cfm like the Carter AFB is too much for
: a 225. Also, how loud would a /6 be with
: headers, and dual Flowmasters? He said it
: sounds almost like a 318 at idle, but has a
: real unique sound at cruising speed. (read
: loud?)
:
: But the big question is, if all the work was
: done properly, will all these modifications
: shorten the life of the engine, or cause any
: problems that stock parts wouldn't have?
:
: Here's what he's done: Clifford 4bbl intake
: & headers
: Edelbrock 500 performer carb
: Electronic ignition
: All parts in the electrical system are new
: Accel coil & wires
:
: He also has a "competition cam" that
: goes with the car, is it worth the
: time/effort to tear into the engine to
: install this & what are the advantages?
:
: Also, what are the advantages of an aluminium
: master cylinder, and what is a
: "Zippy" adapter?
:
: Sorry this got so long again, I appreciate any
: anwsers you guys might have... This board is
: the best, there aren't too many places on
: the Internet that are this active & have
: such great information on them!
