I had hoped to the get project engine on the stand today and start the tear down but the carb on the running 292 in the truck decided to start puking gas this morning so I spent that time putting a kit in that one. It had needed it for a while. maybe I'll get a little better MPG out of it while I'm building the new engine.

I'd been looking at the Offy and a 390 Holley. As for headers I've kind of been looking at Fentons but nothing set in tone at this point. One issue I may have with the exhaust is the location of the gas tank, it's on the driver side and location and shape/size will pretty much dictates a couple of 90* bends to get around it and exit the pipes to the rear of the truck
