I agree the edelbrock intakes are great, I've ran the 7201 performer before, the reason I was using the street master was going for a vintage intake and I'm on a tight budget. Ill end up upgrading intakes I'm sure but for now I'm just using what I got. As far as the pushrods they are the magnums. I just pulled one and part #7372. That was my mistake. Like I said the motors been assembled and on the backburner for several years. Wish I could at least find the paperwork on everything's that's in it cause id like to remember all the cam specs. All the specs since the only thing I can remember from my conversation with the tech at comp came is it runs 495 true. As far as carbs go I got options on the shelf. And will probably go with the Carter Afb since its cfm should mesh nicely with the intake for now.
