Well 80' 427 I might have to use my 650 edelbrock on it till I can find a different carb if the 770 doesnt work out. Thanks for the heads up on that!
Q jet
ROTTENCHESTER QUADRABOG............LOL
I'd rather run aQuadrajet than an E-brock,just my opinion.

There are always alternatives. LOL
Sure did, I'd have to look up the part number but they are the springs Edelbrock recommends for the cam. I'm running a Edelbrock performer mani with a 750 Holley on top.
For s&g
Is that a factory Power Steering pump bracket setup!? It look very similar to what I made for my BB...I couldn't find factory parts for mine when I put it together.

For brackets, etc, I go to Alan Grove components. I have known Alan for many years and always excellent quality. He is located in Louisburg, KS.
This is beautiful.

I agree with this.
You should make your carburetor choice before you buy an intake manifold.
John, which cam did you run in your 454 in the blue truck? Would it probably not be comparable due to these heads?

Alright so I got the motor opened up and the pistons dont look factory to me, somebody correct me if im wrong. I picked up a holley 750 dp and a edelbrock performer intake. Havent ordered a cam yet as I am unsure of what is in the motor currently. Looking at going with the summit k1301 at this time.
Look up the numbers on the block . That way you know more about what pistons MAY be in there. It might be a truck short block with passenger car heads.Alright so I got the motor opened up and the pistons dont look factory to me, somebody correct me if im wrong.

The block is a 76 truck block and the heads are ls5's. Im just not sure about the pistons, most oem 454 pistons i see are just a dished piston.
As long as the pistons are not domed , they should be fine, assuming you are wanting to run pump gas.
Pre or post turbo?
The only way I would recommend a Q-jet is if you are going to run a mechanical fuel pump. If you go all out on a an electrical fuel pump and regulators, why waist that upgraded fuel system on a Q-jet, when you could get a performance carb specifically designed for off road use, which is capable of taking full advantage of an up-graded fuel system. If you do go with a mechanical fuel pump system, make sure you get a quality pump with dual diaphragms, and not a cheap single diaphragm pump. By the picture you posted of the engine you are building, you have a ways to go before you need to start worrying about carburetors.
