What did you advise Wayne to do? Let me guess please. 4 barrel Holley 750 possibly a Street Avenger 770 and a Eds dual plane RPM intake, TTI 1 7/8 headers, dual exhaust. Or a Pro-Charger stroked 432 with EZ INDY heads? Looks Like Wayne went old school!dave-r wrote:You are like my wife. You do the opposite to what I advise.

Dave is of course, right. But hey the eye candy and the feeling of that six-pack opening up is a feeling we should all tell the other patients in the sanitarium!!! Yes, it will cost a lot but this "hobby" or as Wayne put it "Fever" isnt about saving money. You havent even got to the different hood you will need, and the cable/bell crank, The other fiberglass and steel parts, ect..RedRaven wrote:Dave told me I would end up paying an extra 1000 to get the six pack up and running....I guess I can buy it piece by piece, I think there is a street avenger on that 440 Eddie, I might clean that up and take off the holley thats on it already until I can afford the six pack set up eh??

The engine is in poor repair. Mechanically the car is showing its age. The electrics are a mess. The paint is chipped, scratched and faded....and he wants to put a brand spanking new six pack on it.

That story sounds familiar... One of the first things I bought for my car was a T/A-scoop! At that time, my car was in a desperately need of a total repair and I bought a T/A scoop!

He has probably gone home with one of them on occasion after a night out as a lad.

Yes it will take time if you keep spending your money on shite you don't need.

I would still advise you fit a 750 double pumper on your 383 Wayne. Easy to tune and suitible for a mild to wild 383.
But if you fit a six pack that would work too. Just cost three times as much.
