You Could have went Bigger on the Cam with that 3.73 in the Back . Sure them Double Hump Heads would Help . they would Rase your C/R and they Flow better then the #882 un-Ported Smog Heads . If you do Change the Heads Swap the Camshaft too . Go with the Comp Cams XE268H hyd Flat Tappet Camshaft . Your Intake and Carb are Good . That HEI needs a Curve kit asap it would even help with your build as is . There are other ways to turn this Engine Up . But with the Parts you already Have This will be the Best way . I do think with the D/H Heads you will need to run 91 Octane Fuel .
thanks for the good info! I believe the valves are 1.96 in the Double Hump, and the 882s are 1.8X something! They are smaller for sure. When I change the heads, and get a bigger cam, can I run a bigger cam that the one you suggested? I want a rough idle! And I don't mind running 93 octane. Its not a daily driver at all. just a mall cruiser/race truck. I really want as much power as possible..
