Re: Help with Build Please

i will offer a little help. figure out what the rpm of your engine will be at the speed you plan to drive when you are towing your boat. then the cam manufacturer can recomend the proper cam for your application. as for carbs, i like holley but that is just me. the most problem free carb is the q jet you probably already have. having said that, your intake is a trot line wieght. i have never had a two plane aluminum intake on a 454 but a single plane old edlebrock torquer really made my engines turn on, enough to say wow! day & night difference. but if your gonna go buy one just for towing i'd say the others are right & would get a two plane. oh yeah loosen the spark curve up in the dist & use a set of headers also. hope this helps!
