I have to agree with Todd too...That is a big carb. You would have to shift between 7500 - 8000 rpms to take full advantage of a carb that size on a small block. Which would be dificult on even ported fuelie heads...

I have a 331 small block, 10.5-1 compression. AFR Heads 195CC, Team G, Holley 800 (I run it up to 7500 rpms) and comp cams mechanical lifter 250 duration at .050 lift and .555 lift....it only puts out about 425hp at the crank...which still works out to 12's on my all steal '72 nova!!!

hope this helps and good luck!

I have a 331 SBC... 10.75 to 1...AFR 195 CC Ported Heads, Team G intake , Holley 800 (I run it up to 7500 rpms) Comp Cams Solid Cam 250 @ .050 with .555 gross lift. I am making about 425 at the crank and thats with some pretty decent heads!

Hope this helps as a reference! Good luck!
