I got another complete bottom end sittin on the engine stand all stock needs to be cleaned up...can u guys recomend me some parts or what i should do. Now the car is a 81 tbird..its just a dd/cruiser.

your problem is the intake...torquer 2 = all wrong, you need a dual plane such as a rpm or rpm air gap and a decent cam and then it won't feel flat

agreed the torker 2 is a single plane if i remember right get a performer rpm or airgap along with a decent cam and then she will have some more poop down low and mid range..
