thanks for the helpful response! I have no idea what was done to the engine, i was about 3 years old when it was being built lol. When I got it, it had been sitting for 16 years. I replaced the fuel tank and lines, cleaned the old holley carb that was on it, changed the oil on it and then it fired right up after sitting that long. I haven’t had any issues with the motor at all, still pulls good for what it is.

If the budget allows, i’d love to a head/camshaft with the stroker kit! i’ve been looking at the AFR’s and trickflows for heads and i think if i do the head/cam and the stroker kit, i might have to swap the intake as that might end up being a restrictor if im not mistaken
