Re: Quadrajet replacement with AVS2 1903

Re: 280 mile 85 at auction

right there with you. Install a 140 speedo and drive it none? Or put a new odometer in and say it's that low of mileage? I'd say the later but I'm not claiming I'm correct.

Re: Order of Engine Upgrades? Heads, then Cam?

I'll repeat this. Again, if not you're going to upgrade, the 180s are a good match. This is a picture of the port match of the same parts(180 eliminators, HSR), untouched. But if you decide for more...

Re: Order of Engine Upgrades? Heads, then Cam?

If you're going to upgrade at any point, the 180s are a waste. More cubes and/or more rpm, just get the afr cnc 195s for the exact same price (at least they were, idk about now) as the cnc 180s. If...
