One thing I know for sure now... you guys with the BBC's, spinning big RPM, are NOT using a lobe that resembles this intake lobe that is on my cam. He confirmed that it is NOT an RPM stable lobe... especially with inherently heavy valves / high ratio rockers.

So, I have taken heed to everybody's recommendations and advice.
And it looks like I WILL build a new set of headers.

If I can retain even half of what I learn around here, maybe I won't blow up again... and maybe even go faster ? !

thanks guys

THE stocker guy at Comp Cams = Tim Cole, or Chris Padgitt.

You're in good hands now if that's who you're talking to.

You're going to love what a good stable camshaft and valvetrain does for your engine program. You will now be able to use the cylinder head flow and the carburetors you have.

Let me know if you want to see about getting some REAL good stainless valves for that thing.

When you get the engine right, you should be able to use about a 3.05 first gear and a 5.14 rear gear. Just be ready to get it in second gear real quick.
