Methanol and pumice-grit GoJo - same.

LOL - same.  Big block/small block is all Chevy talk.  A guy like me with a 351C can sort 'em out when they look at my motor and say "big block".  [facepalm]. 

I ran two 1406 - 600s - on my 302 tunnel ram with no issues.  I just did set of 500s for a friend, in order to get back my 600s that I loaned him  They ran so well on his 331 hemi/32 Ford that he wanted to buy them.  I did about the same on both sets - one step rich on pri/sec, or as close as you can get to that.  I drilled the shooters to around .035.  When they put the 500s back on the 331, they had to set the accel pump arm to minimum throw, so that's different.  Said the max throw was pushing too much fuel.  I would have rather put .031 stockers back on it to see how that worked.  But my friend is happy with the performance and I got my carbs back LOL.
 
The 600s have the accel arm set for max travel.  The 600s ran 1:1, but that car has 4.56 gear and a big converter.  The 302 is a mild motor - maybe 300 HP in good weather.  216/228 hydro flat, 9.5:1.  On the track the 60' was a tad softer than the go-to 650 DP and Air Gap but still sharp. MPH and overall performance was the same.  An added plus is that it upset the hell out of everybody (them ain't no Holleys!) ;~)

I think t would be interesting to try the 600s or some 750AVs on a larger - 351+ - type engine.  The later modes have some tuning for secondary tip-in that could be useful for drag strip performance.   I have not tried the 600s on my 351C - when our local track closed, that put the kabosh on my Friday night hours of experimentation.  It would be interesting since the 351C ram has fairly minimal plenum but rather large runners as you'd expect so pump shot may be the largest tuning issue.  And you have to pull the top of an Ed to change the shooters, so it take a while to swap on a dual carb deal!

Yes, that is a great sound.  Good pull too!

That's what happens when the author is much younger than the engines

Knock that off you grumpy old fart!  I am younger than the FE and could have written a much better article from my toilet, dictated to the cat.

You young punks don't no nutin', we had to carry those old forged pistons that weighted 2 lbs each up hill both ways just to get them in the block. 

"Alexa, what can you tell me about the FE engine?"

"There are many engines that are FE engines, which one did you want?" 

The new large language AI models will help competent people save time in research and content collection.  That's good.  It will also help incompetent/think-they-know-but-they-don't people generate a lot of sudo-factual garbage.  About like everything else, really.  Think self driving cars.  Will be an assist to smart drivers, disaster in the hands of the idiots that already can't handle cars with the big wheel in front of their face.
