Hi guys. I am at a bit of a crossroads on my engine build for my '62 Fairlane and could use some advise. I just got my short block from the machine shop. I has a a 265/275-110* cam, around 9.25 to 1 compression, will be mated to a T5 and 3.50 rear, HEI distro, Clifford headers and probably 2.25 dual exhaust. I have a large log head that has been rebuilt with big valves that I was going to modify for a Holley 2v. But now I think I want it run a Holley Sniper EFI. My question is; should I just bolt on the 1100 version and go or should I modify the head and go with the 2300? If I was building a 200 I am sure I would go with the 1v 1100, but maybe that would be under carbureted for the 250? It is rated for up to 175hp and I don't expect to have any more than that. I really like the idea of not altering the head, not to mention paying the machine shop and waiting weeks. I am not wanting an engine for racing or even hot rodding around, just want a reliable cruiser that runs great and is fun to drive for use on a regular basis. I am thinking the 1100 will be more than enough for what I want out of the car, but I want to make sure I won't be short changing my engine. I really just want to get it together and cruising again and not going broke doing it. I look forward to you guy's thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Steve
