for once and for all, do not use that piece of shit... it is a lazy-ramped POS that was designed to be used with stock valve springs... that's why it's got turtle nuts for lift and too much seat duration. it's JUNK!
my wagon went 12.60's with cleaned up E7's, E303, and stock rockers... ('course, it went 11.90's with cleaned up GT40's and a B303, but it was a lot lighter and was a way different car at the time. I'm here to tell ya, the Bcam is a POS!!)
my little bro's car shagged ass w/ cleaned up E7's, F303, and stock rockers...
I would run something small like an E303 or a TFS stage 1 w/ the 1.7's.

Forged pistons
Edelbrock 600cfm carb -I have a feeling I'm going to need to go bigger/Holley with this.
Edelbrock RPM manifold
Hedman 88400 shorty headers (to clear the clutch cable conversion)
Am I forgetting anything?

Thanks man. Yeah, I'm putting a T5 in it. Should be more fun than the C4 and allow for some real gears. I'll probably just run straight pipes and keep the "turbo" muffs for now while I save my pennies for a decent rear end. I'll keep your X/chambers plan in mind though.
Blake, I'm not even sure.. is your engine set up for a roller cam? All the block needs is the holes drilled and tapped for the spider, but the lifters and pushrods are different too. I remember you saying it's an '85 engine...

my cousin put a T5 in his 67 Cougar. made it a whole different car!
definately work with what you've got, but there's nothing sexier than an x-pipe w/ some chambered mufflers. the car's got the looks... give it the song to match

You could buy some used stuff off of this board for next to nothing. I just got some 1-chambers for dirt cheap a couple of weeks ago. (dad's vette, lol)
Hack up an X-pipe and a pair of 2.5" 2-chambers and you're in business.
I was just checking to make sure that these cam selections were valid. Comp Xtreme has some nice milder grinds as well.

Don't I know it. Where do you think I'm getting my parts? (heads, rockers, etc)
I bet the VerneVette will sound badass with those.
