Probably the old 274 H06 hy-cam. It will cackle some at idle and as you rpm, it will smooth right out.. A good old cam by me. pdq67
You can get where you want to go installing no more than a stock Q-Jet and cast-iron intake off a mid '70's 350... And I wouldn't worry about...
Don't forget that the 312 truck engines probably have forged cranks in them. pdq67
Right. "Borg warner t 84. Used in Studebaker champion, henry j, rambler, Willy's..." look's just like my '51 Stude and '52 Willys 3-speed stick...
I was just going to say that the chrome handle had a side ways "Muncie" type bend in it.. Slight hi-jack here... Where do you get these...
It's an AFB isn't it instead of the little old WCFB. pdq67

3WLarry, Who's rams horns are on your car?? pdq67
My '51 or '52, 5-pass. coupe had '58 Imp 14" rims on it. pdq67
How do I search for something on The Hamb? pdq67
Right, had to have the CR up there. My old junk301 that I made out of a wore out SJ 327 standard bore block, a '55, 265", 3" crank, unknown...
Fwiw, the 400 'Bird's Q-Jets were limited from the factory so that their engines wouldn't produce as much power as the Goats!! My big-headed...
Use the stock rear block PVC cap and run everything like stock to the hole that should be in the bottom plate of your carb. Anyway, Q-Jets are...
Are your heads Holley's 20 degree valve angle ones?? pdq67
I put together an 11.5 to 1 cr'd .060" over/409 back years ago. It had a NASCAR solid cam in it and a reworked 348 trip intake that I put three...
Double-hump heads will fit the small bore SBC engines IF you use lift-limited cams!! I think around .440" lift is about it before the valve start...
Weren't the 1st SBC's painted red from the factory?? Instead of Chevy orange. pdq67
Probably can't get it unless it is in a "gel" paint stripper. Methylene Chloride! Stuff will wipe the "smile" off Mr. Clean's face! pdq67
Depending if not NOS, I figure they are modern "Chi-Com" cheap knock-offs!! pdq67
Years ago I had an old stock Tri-5 cast-iron "ring" that mated with the cast-iron P/G bell housing, (I think??), then the P/G part to the block....
Years ago, I put a stock Stude. 259" 4-barrel intake on my 232" 2-barrel engine. pdq67
Nitriding or might consider chroming the journals... Just an idea... pdq67
FWIW, I am using a power M/C with a shallow hole in a non-power application. I used a shortened 1.5" or 2.0" dia., (I forget??), soldered on type...
If I remember right, I just used a small narrow straight screw driver and carefully bent one side of the bushing in and then pried it out. But it...
My B-I-L's brother had a '56, 265 that ended up coming apart on the Hwy at 60 mph. He stopped, looked under it, saw the hole in the pan and drove...
Please consider the old CRAGAR deep dish chrome reverse rims or Fenton type slotted mags. Modern tires sized like the old E-60/14's and L-60/14's...
I haven't read this whole thing so if I repost, please disregard. I want to say that "Langdons" is into Chevy II 4-bangers. pdq67
As a side note here. Ford made some forged 312 cranks that I figure were put in the trucks. pdq67
Might see what Oreilly's or Autozone might have?? pdq67
