Carb Size for 454?
I have been fiddling with the 454 in my K-20.............It runs better, but falls on it face on a hill and still seems sluggish when you stand on it. The previous owner put a new Edelbrock on it, and I haven't checked yet, but I am wondering if he didn't go big enough for this size cube engine. What should I be running on it? Everything else is spot on, and it runs well, other than the problem I mentioned above, it just doesn't seem like its getting the fuel/air on a pull. I put all new filters/plugs/wires on it so it isn't any of that that is the problem, and it has an electric fuel pump that works really well.
Still haven't checked the block #'s, but I am wondering if this isn't a smog engine and it will be a turd?
