Pressure and volume are PERFECT! The bad oil leak...not so nice

Aside from the issues, your build seems interesting. I have not seen those edelbrock 355 CNC in action yet, but I know their price seemed pretty reasonable.

Is this a hyd or solid roller? Sounds like its on the way to making some good power

First time using them..hyd roller....I selected these due to the 110cc chamber option....with a flat top JE piston...a true 10.5 comp ratio with GREAT flame travel....seems to be working??

so ta,you bought edelbrock cylinder heads and one head had a 2.250 valve in a 2.300 sized seat?and a quickfuel carb with no oriface in the power valve channel restrictor.i believe you but one has to wonder what are the odds of either one of these things happening.were both oriface,s equiped with a plug or just one.

BOTH were plugged! I should have took a pic! Well...they are still in my pocket!

Cool. Looking forward to seeing the results with these heads. Which intake you running? Victor, sniper, dart, etc?

That's why we don't "believe" what we receive...frickin got to inspect EVERYTHING!

I sent my my brand new 850 Quick Fuel to a carb shop and they said it was bastardized with an 830 body and all mismatched on the inside.
