Couple of questions here: Over the years I've rebuilt my 250 three times. This time its got .040 over, Comp 268H .500" lift I&E, Offy, 390 Holley, Langdon split cast irons, HEI, and a T-5 out the back. Idle vac is 15", and I'm getting 15mpg (up 2 from my last cam), but just not happy with the bottom end torque - really its never been as grunty as I think it should be, even when it was stock with the 3-on the tree long ago. Anyone got any time with Rhoads in this motor? I'm not bothered with the solid lifter sounds Rhoads make; just thinking of going this route vs longtube headers and redoing the exhaust. Also, oil pressure has never been high even with two successive new "stock" Melling pumps - 15-20 psi at idle and no more than 40 at speed. IS that enough pressure for a Rhoads to work proper? Oh yeah, its in a '65 C-10 Short Fleet. Thanks for any input.
