You should get everything you can out of that Holley 600 at 5-5.5k rpms (~375 cfm primaries) but not sure you’ll open the secondaries 😳😂. But I’m not a hot rod guy 🤓.

Productive day, fuel lines are done. Electric fuel pump wired to master kill switch, my 2 inch manifold riser AKA Tunnel ram arrived. Hope to have the carb bolted down tomorrow and see what happens.

Hopefully the rods dont leave the chat and put a window in the almighty F!😬
When we were doing the oil pan gasket I welded all the rod and main caps together. Should be fine.

Rob was doing clutch drop burnouts at the Stockton Swap meet in this thing earlier this summer and it sounded rad revving high. I think he's properly stress tested it :)
 
Some ideas for the air intake tube, my plan is after getting it all measured out make some brackets to hold it in place, I'll cut the front headlight plate down to fit in the headlight bucket and cut the tube to fit. Forced air intake . Bigger better ideas are in the works.

Just took my swb out for our wedding anniversary dinner and then a little cruise afterwards and I was thinking 65 sure seems like a good speed for the 45. 100 would be fun for a second but 65 sure felt good enough to me. Maybe it 68 downhill on the floor
