Re: Car won't start without pouring gas in the carb...

[Eric R <hoodoovoodooray@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeh....

361 2bbl here too.

I think just going to the 4bbl with the single exhaust and no cam
might not do as much.

Craigslist through searchtempest.com will be your friend to find the
parts like the intake and save some bucks.

Not sure if this is helpful, but it'll give you an idea.

I recently bought my 361, it ran horrible. Someone had put a junk 2bbl
Holley on it that carb wasn't worth rebuilding.

I wanted to play around and keep the 361  so though Craigslist, Summit
and a few others I ended up doing what you may thinking about.

I'll try to keep this short.

Weind Aluminum intake, Summit 4bbl 600 carb,  Lunati Cam - mild but
bigger, Hedman shorty headers,  Dual exhaust, Comp Cam valve springs,
Electronic Ignition (future),  New Distributor.

So, of course while doing the cam I noticed the cam bearings were
needing replaced, While looking the heads over I had a burn' valve so
that needed replaced and a valve job, the new cam needed stiffer
springs and that led to valve seals and resurfacing the heads..  might
as well change that timing chain while you're in there..   there's
probably other things I forgot that came up or will once I fire it up.

My point is:  be prepared to spend more $  and time than you thought
you would to fix issues you find and do things right.  If you're cool
with that go for it because it's a lot of fun.

(Having decent tools helps.)

Or, get it running right the way it is and enjoy it.  Before money is
spent on performance it should be spent on making it safe (just my
advice).
