I'll use clifford only as a last resort. I'll be damned if I pay their prices, they're almost as bad as Mondello and Olds Performance Products. "here, buy these AC spark plugs at $25 a piece, because we sell them." I got plenty of power out of our 258 AMC just with head porting, 9.5:1 compression and a quadrajet sitting on an offy 4bbl squarebore intake that I got at a swap meet for $50. Go to clifford, it'd be $1500 or more for all that crap. no thanks.

and if the old man can get 13's out of a 4 door 62 bel air with a 10:1 compression 235 with a 3/4 race cam, a 3 on the tree and 4.11's in the rearend, I think I can get my goal with this motor.

my main question is (and always was) - what camshaft will get me 200 hp and 250-300 lb-ft torque with 9.5:1 compression, port and polish on the stock head and a .060 overbore breathing through a 750 cfm quadrajet with a 1" spacer?
