Matt, thank you so much for all of your help. Being a young-gun around here, I'm gonna need help. Theres a guy up in Detroit that says his flathead has no cracks, and hopefully he has proof of it somehow. He said its been magnafluxed and such, but I can't trust anyone. Bellmore is on Long Island, about 35-40 minutes from New York City. What is the best setup for the carbs/manifold? And I know this is mostly a choice question, which out of the box carbs are the biggest bang for my buck? Thanks.
