got my 427 hi riser 2 carb engine running with 2 holly 600 carbs. its running way too rich and these carbs dont have replaceable secondary jets.  its only getting about 330 hp at 5k. i think 1200 cfm may be too much ? would quick fuel 450's be a better choice ?

At precisely 5800 rpm my fe hits a wall and loses power. Feels like a rev limiter but worse. I have a hydraulic roller cam from comp cams. I thought it was my old dual point distributor so I bought msd distributor coil and box. Same thing at at 5800 rpm. The engine builder told me that the flat tapped valve springs that were on the heads originally were fine so he did not install new springs. He says it's not related to the springs but still has no answer for me. The old springs were about 10 years old on a non running engine so several valves were open for that long. Could these springs create this 5800 rpm fall off? What does valve float feel like?

I have a 1964 galaxie that I'm doing the suspension on. one inch front swaybar and 7/8" rear sway bar plus rebuild of a arms and disc brakes. I need new shocks but don't know much about them. I want good quality adjustable shocks and hope someone here can suggest a brand for my car. 

Anyone know of good headers and motor mounts to put 429/460 in a 64 galaxie?

I'm running a holly black fuel pump in my galaxie. The pump makes a lot of noise and i wondered if it's in need of a return line to the tank to relieve it of so much back pressure. Any  thoughts?

My highriser 2 4bbl intake puts the front carb slightly over the distributor. An msd billet distributor looks to be too long to fit under the carb. Anyone using an aftermarket distributor with same intake?

I have a 64 galaxie with a 427 using the long tube iron headers. I tried to fit a later
 ford starter but the iron header doesn't let the starter fit like the original long nose starter because of the bump on the side of the starter. What one will fit besides that long nose original  type?

I was turning over my as yet unstarted freshly built 427 with high riser heads and I noticed some excess fuel was escaping In a fine mist from 2 plug holes. Could these plug holes be cracked and if so what's the fix?
