Maybe I missed something, but there is no "correct" combination of parts unless you describe exactly how you want to drive the thing, and how much you care about overall driveability, longevity, fuel efficiency, etc. My 65 SS Chevelle with a mild 327 runs nice on pump gas at all RPMs up to 5500, and can still get 20 MPG if I baby it. I've been jerking around with SB Chevy's since the 265s were popular, and tried just about every new and "great" add-on out there - even the variable duration bleed-down lifters to make hot cams run better at low RPMs. You say the dual-plane manifolds "suck" - which is just plain rediculous. They work better than single plane manifolds for overall use - especially in a street car or truck that gets driven often at normal speeds - and not always hot rodded. By the way, I've had several 283s, and currently have two 327s with Eldebrock Performer intakes, and I like they way they work better than single plane manfifolds. Both hooked to Holley 600 single-pumpers and mild cams (what we used to call 3/4 race back in the 60s). Now, if all I cared about was street racing and all RPMs over 3000, then a single plane would be a benefit, along with a hotter cam. I had a 400 SB years back with a ram-log and 6 Rochester two-barrels - and what a touchy piece of crap that was! But, those days are over - at least for me. I prefer a rig that's based on some level of compromise and runs good fast and slow.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
