Here is the setup:
5.3 Gen III truck engine
Edelbrock 7118 conversion kit with MSD clone box and RPM dual plane manifold
Stock motor. no cam. no valve spring changes.

Going into a '71 C-10 with a manual shift. Used for work so it sits in rush hour traffic and actually hauls some weight (never overloaded though). I believe a 3.73 rear end.

Here is kinda my thoughts:

1. Just put a Quadrajet on with an adapter plate... They work and are reliable.

2. BG Road Demon 625 with Vac secondaries and electric choke.

3. Just go crazy and get a Holley or Street Demon 750

4. Call up ProSystems or Jet and go with whatever they recommend.

ANY input is greatly appreciated!
