Yeah, i decided to stay with carb setup.

so what intake is better.... the explorer one, or the edelbrock preformer rpm gap or w/e?

How does the e303 do for power? i love the sound of it
explorer intake is upper/lower for FI, so you will want an edelbrock or weiand

OH ok... well thats good i guess

here is why im so worried.. i changed the oil 2 days ago and there is no difference.

It sounds horrible, and i don't want to waste my money rebuilding this motor.

haha, yeah i have like a few more pictures of it.

So with the E303 cam, and edelbrock RPM Performer Intake, what else should i buy?

I'm needing to order some of this stuff as soon as possible, is there any modifications i would need to do to get the cam work?

id say go for a 351w. you can have more power capacity and loads of torque.(my friends turbod 351w put down 650+ on a stock block). ut other than that id look around junkyards for your motor, thats were i got mine.
