Thank you to everybody for your input. I greatly appreciate it.

I'm going to give the 292 a shot since I have very little $ in it and it's already mounted in my truck now. I'm going to build around it for the time being. If I can get a head I'm going to go that route. But if not, I'm thinking I'll just do as gbauer suggested and rebuild my stock carb. Try to get a feel for everything and go from there. If it doesn't work that good for me, I can always do the LSX later.

Cnc-dude, I'm going to try to send you a pm.
