Hello Lads/Lassie's

My name is Ian and i'm based in the U.K.

My car is a '67 RHD Canadian Pontiac Parisienne currently still running its original 283 mouse and TH350 Trans.

I'm looking upgrade the powertrain.

In the workshop, on the engine stand, I currently have a 454 big block freshly bored out .30 over, a high rise iron manifold (Chevy), High comp iron oval port heads, new pistons, gasket set, lifters (flat, but might swap to roller), freshly reground and balanced crank, etc etc.

Here's the thing, I want this motor to look stock (ish), i.e. hence the iron manifold etc, but to cam it with a really nasty idle, to sound really pissed off, whilst still being reasonably drivable on the street. I'm sure you guys have heard it all a million times before (**rolls eyes!!

I'm currently looking at a Thumpr™, 279TH7
High Performance Street, Choppy/Thumping Idle cam and wondered what set up i.e carb (was looking at q-jets today), etc, etc to run with it.

Your advice, comments, jokes, experience, are all very much welcome,

I look forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards
Ian
