I pretty much got an idea of what would be a great mild build already with upgrades like a direct 2bbl mount and others, but what would be a nice build fro someone who may want to stick with the one 1bbl carbs?
RyanCorpse":sqm8s9be said:1.) What are you starting with as a core? Is it in such a condition that it will likely need extensive machining, or other work?
rebuilt c4-auto transmission, stock 200 with a slight oil seep on drivers side, headers, 1bbl pony carb vaporizer, about to upgrade to a Duraspark II distrib. with an Orange Mopar ignition box with MSD Blaster 3 ignition coil.

Yah those GM products are dropping like flies! Poof, there goes another one!RyanCorpse":2v43t9js said:sp_alloy_head":2v43t9js said:Wouldn't using the GM HEI unit be less expensive and be as reliable? Just sayin...
Don't those HEI units blow out?

Well, of course any type of electronic device is prone to failure, but the GM HEI units have a better reputation amongst my associates than Ford modules; my personal experience with Ford DS2 modules is abysmal but others have had good success; I have owned a number of GM vehicles with nary a failure. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer choices.

Seems that you have a good foundation with the Pony Vaporizer, the header, and the DSII distributor. Were you planning on an engine rebuild? There are a few things you can do with the internals to get more efficiency, more durability, etc.
What you have listed is pretty similar to my build... 200 with 9:1 compression, mild Clay Smith cam, Carter YF, DSII distributor and module, MSD Blaster coil, single outlet header. It did really well with the C4, but I was left wanting overdrive.
