They just did a cam swap on a 66 small block on HPTV. The only clearance problem was the rear of the bumper. If you find that the case, you can do what they did and jack the engine up a couple of inches or drop the front bumper. Try as you may, that cam just won't bend at that last journal.

A 283-2 isn't going to take much fuel to get it running. Probably the smallest 4-bbl from Edelbrock would be their 500cfm unit (#1404). Another choice would be a Holley 390cfm (#0-8007) for a small engine (http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/FMS/FMSC/0-8007.html). An Edelbrock

What you are supposed to do is *be realistic* about what max RPM you will be running at, and find the CFM that will get you 100% VE at that RPM. Using the formula to find a carb that will get you 75% VE at your max RPM kind of defeats the purpose of using the formula if you ask me. Now, it's true
