284 is the norm for this setup. With a 4-2-1 branch,272 cam some say is to light,but if for everyday use and easy on the lifters its nice.

284 is not fun for everyday use or your wallet

Was told 284 will work well with throttles? Fitted the throttles to the head to see how it will look..will be match porting intake with head port and then spray intake and throttles black

Looking good, low down drive ability is where the problem lies, once the revs pick up it is fine.

Don't worry, you get used to it after a while and learn to use your clutch a lot more.

Deon has built many hard 8v back in the day.buddy of mine used to work there that time it was still named Hyperformance.

Strongs for the build :winkithumbs:
