I'll keep my eyes peeled then. I think a step above stock cam, carb rebuild and tune, distributor rebuild and tune, manifolds, and an intake should leave me satisfied with the 396 for some time to come and possibly forever.

Hmm the summit racing ones look pretty good and are only $180 new...

EBay has brand new manifolds for $150 shipped!
Make sure it is for a Quadrajet.
Also check to see if the ports are for peanut port heads, or standard oval ports.

I got a quad performer if your interested. I had it on my 461 with 781's for a short while...its ported to the big oval shape ports now (not shown in this pic as it was done after I bought it) 100$ + shipping

Center is the intake, the 781 heads on the left and the peanut ports on the right....the manifold was opened up to match the 781 ports after this pic was taken.
Intake and roller cam. So worth the money.

Lololol! Roller cam! Lol! I would have to be made of money to consider a roller cam in an old motor! Roller cam kits are around $700 for these motors. At that point I'm half way to a modern engine.

I don't suppose they have mechanical fuel pump provisions do they?
Negatory.

Bagh. Well then, I think I'll carefully stick to plan A for now. That's the small cam, carb and dist rebuild, and intake. And run that until I get a good deal on either a 8.1 or 6.0.
Why are you wanting a mechanical lift pump? External electric pumps are pretty easy to install, if you weren't able to run mechanical (and didn't feel like ripping the tank out).

I just want to keep mechanical until I use a real pump for real injection. I'll just get the 396 dialed in for now.

Say what again? The new forum doesn't say what post you replied to!
Above my last you had the same post twice. I found it amusing.
