I am running a cable set up, so it will not be a problem for me, We can go with the flow on the day.

Who are bakers?

What heads are you running?

Very lucky you got in early to get it ready.

bakers is the name of the family it was a brother parnershp i think now they have gone there seperate ways they are highly regarded as the best engine balancers they also do aviation work the heads are the standard iron heads but ported by rams heads at windsor flow charts say 220cfm at 500 lift which is around 450hp

I had my heads ported by RAMS.

I will answer your question here as I cannot log into the mustang site.

Bob Meally (Peakhurst) built my engine. No I have not had it on the dyno.

It goes hard for a 289 but my old 347 with webers was awsome.........................I just have to wipe away the tears.

Hey Guys

Sorry if this another silly question, but would a bigger carb on a small block make much of a difference if any?
Just thought you but big carbs on big blocks or high performance engines?
