The Clifford intake is not good for the street especially on a 250 or smaller engine low compression,bad gearing & so-on.
Poor gas mileage,poor low & midrange.
You will need to slip the clutch more with that intake over an Offy.
Talk w/twisted6 for your head work suggestions.
Stock SBC springs can be 70-100 lbs @ the seat,IIRC?
If you are going with standard dished piston 250 I would look for a smaller chamber 194 head.
Go with a zero deck on your next engine.
Two cents thrown :-)
