Chad is right , and I do love to share , BUT , I also hate typing , LOL the info I would give to 65r would be more specific to a combo, than general , but AS for general info , I will say this, a 671 is NOT low , it can easily spin past 6500 , and if put together with the realization it will ( have yet to figure this one out ) cause the car to run about 20 degrees hotter than a comparable normally aspirated combo , so OVERKILL on the cooling system is a Must , I run a Crank tiggerd Ignition ( because Pa has a Obstruction of vision requirement in the Vehicle Code ) so My combo is as low as any FE 671 with carbs can be , but its still high enough that a big scoop or hole in the hood is needed on almost any car , for Carb's , you need to be honest and say I will race this ( full 1/4 mile bursts ) or its a fairground / street only cruiser, racing dictates Holley Double Pumpers , or 660's , Holley Vac Secondary's can be made to work , but with the right mods , Stay away from Eld's or Carters , unless you like ash trays that resemble pistons , also ALL, brands of Headers will Crack given enough time , No coating short of top fuel stuff will stay on , Stainless might last ,( just my pockets are not deep enough to try them ) unless you have a crossbolted block , stay away from strokes over 3.78 ( 390 ) use Head and Main Studs , Good machine work is critical ( as is any engine making 500+ hp ) I run stock 390 3/8 bolt rods with good bolts and have never had a falure , BUT my last combo was put together in 96 , lots of aftermarket stuff now , My engine is apart , it started pushing water ( after 8 full seasons and 3 partial seasons 0 plus 11 years of street miles between ) turns out #7 cyl wall cracked , its a garden variety 390 block .030 so no big loss , also , if you like the whine of a Blower ( who doesn't ) use the 1/2 pitch drive , the round tooth millimeter stuff is stronger , but doesn't sound as cool , if yo run 10% over or less 1/2 is fine , JUST BE SURE to use as big of pulleys ( teeth count ) as possible to get the ratio , in other words 31 crank and 31 top is 1-1 , BUT , you get poor belt wrap , and that can cause problems of belt skipping , ( rips off the belt teeth ) and at about 100.00 a pop aint cheap , I don't like under 37 for tooth count , also belt tension is critical , it needs to be almost TOO loose when cold , those pulley really expand , get it wrong and off comes the crank snout ( SBC and BBC have the most problems ) , also I run JUST a Hub , no Dampener , ok enough for now , have questions shoot away
