Hey Guys,
I'm building a motor for a 65 Fastback. Using a 1987 5.0HO block as the foundation but it's going to be carb'd not FI. I'm using a Weiand Stealth dual plane manifold and a comp cam 35-440-8. T5 trans with a basic 480-500cfm carb.
My question is..are any of you running HEI distributors? I bought one for my build but have since read a comment saying that HEI is not great for motors where performance on the bottom end (below 2500rpm) is also required.
Not sure if that's accurate or not. Does anyone have any experience with HEI on the 5.0HO?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
