I also have a 1971 455 HO disassembled in my shed.

No....neither is for sale.  

I picked up both and a ratty 1977 trans Am for $900.00 in 94.

Yes, I believe our government is corrupt.

Vote Libertarian!

gto... yep.. still running the richmond 6 speed I bought from you and the linkage is still stiff... positive, but stiff..

wulfie.. surprisingly... rice rockets pull up alongside and the guys are smiling and giving me thumbs up... one pulled alonside and said "is that really an ss 396?"  I said no... it was now a 471... his eyes got big and he asked "4 speed?"   I said no... "6 speed"  he rolled up his windo and pretended to hide under the dash... there are good guys everywhere.  

weazel... you can get the edelbrock aluminum for about 1200 and they are complete and weigh about 70 lbs less.  you can run more compression and advance with em and they run cooler.  I lean toward libertarian also... democrats are farther from libertarian than republicans so I vote republican.

pimpjoe... never seen a spreadbore holley that I liked...  they suck.. I don't like adapters either but... even a stock quadrajet in good conditon will work well on that motor... edelbrock sells new quadrajets up to 850 cfm (I have one in 850) and they work quite well but they are pricey.
