Hey Hudsonguy, for a mild build, do more or less what Techinspector suggested. In regards to the 68-71 timing chain, what is meant there is that you need to get a good aftermarket chain that was menat fo the 68-71 motors. Yhe 1972-up chains retard the cam by about 4 degrees, so be sure to specify the 68-71 set.

Personally, I would opt for an 850 Holley on the intake, but fuel efficiency will indeed plummet when compared to the Edlebrock 750. A 750 carb will help you get that heay Hudson going from a stand still too, but I'd still prefer the Holley 750 for it's much greater fuel metering adjustability, which you might be grateful for when calibrating for your heavy car/custom motor.
