 With the right stall converter,...  With the right stall converter, Edelbrock 110cc oval ports will survive on the streets just fine with pump gas. But with the new COMP valvetrain, they'll be passing that gas like never before. |  Unless you have an early 396...  Unless you have an early 396 block like ours, you won't need to worry about the rear oiling groove. If you do, though, COMP can provide the appropriate cam. Steve chose COMP's Xtreme Energy XR282HR cam for our engine, a hydraulic roller with a 230/236 duration and a 2,200-5,600-rpm operating range. |  Steve brought the No. 1 cylinder...

For the person who likes to bolt on and go, there's no beating an Edelbrock carburetor, period. But if you're more prone to tuning, there are other options. Obviously, tuning is what Westech does, and for this application they wanted to try out Barry Grant's Mighty Demon 750. |
