Oh hell yeah, get some more pics of that truck !!! I'd rock that dude. There is another fairly new guy on here with a CC Single rear wheel project about in that condition too. I agree with you too, I'd go with the old school SB400 over the TBI 350. Now if it were a Vortec 350, I'd be on the fence about the decision. I'd probably sway to the Vortec side if I wanted to take the time to wire it up, and go with a 4L80-E trans.

You got a great project there, keep with it, keep us updated, and feel free to ask any questions.

I do believe the holly 1850 is a 600cfm.

I'll try to get a better pic if the truck when I get it out if the shop
So the headers were a flop driver side wouldn't clear the slave cylinder I ordered a set to be here first thing in the morning I think they are flo techs? Thats all that's left other than fixing the tube on the carb its started leaking since its been setting

Can anybody tell me where I can find out which holley I have? One of the numbers in it was 1850 if I remember right

Finally

Well the Advance Auto headers were a no go but the guy that I had order them said he had a set the he backed out on using on his truck he brought them by the shop and they fit. They're Dynomax I think 006 was the part number the other two sets we tried hit the slave cylinder. The 350 starter ain't got what it takes to turn the 400 it struggles bad I'll be switching in it back to the one that came with the 400. The truck has a lot more power I'll try to get a video of it running tomorrow
