Well after a lot of sitting and deciding, Im gonna keep my 81 Carbed. Im thinking on doing a 750CFM with vacuum secondaries, with a 20 Gallon TBI fuel tank (eventually a suburban tank) (Stroker is a #880 Block, W no drilling for Mechanical Pump) and a Holley Return Fuel Pressure Regulator.

Im thinking very seriously about running a 4l80e with a Standalone controller. I'm tired of dealing with 700r4s and think this would be a decent setup for everything.

That or steal a NV4500 and manual swapping the truck. Not sure yet.

This is Compression were looking at with the stroker.
Static CR - 10.17:1
Dynamic CR - 8.09:1


If yall got any recommendations, please voice them. This is my first Carburetor Project Truck and I want me and my dad's dream truck to run smoother than ever.
