what intake and carb? 6.0 & rect port heads
putting a motor together for an 86 cutlass
6.0 iron block bored .030
thinking tsp 229 236 110
cnc #823 heads
3000 stall th350 and ford 9"
Vic Jr and msd 6010?
i see a lot of problems with the msd, is the 6014 available and is that what i should use?
should i pony up the $ for a pro systems carb?
i built pretty well a similiar set up just EFI, i am new to the carb world, any help would be appreciated.
im not looking for anything extravagant, more of a budget, just a weekend cruiser, and maybe a few 1/8th passes. thinking 500ish flywheel horsepower
I bought a set of SD CNC heads a year or so ago and figured i should put them to use. just bought an 06 van with the donor motor

Of course I want a good choppy idle, was told the tsp 229 236 110 would be a good cam for it. going to be 3-3200 stall. is just going to be a weekend cruiser, and some 1/8th passes just for fun with friends no competition, the 406 I have in it now does right under 8 seconds full interior and just street tires and 91 gas
is the smart box pretty readily available? Is there going to be a lot of tinkering and tunin involved with it or are they set up pretty decent out of the box, because of course when I get it in a running im going to want to take it up the road a few times.
msd 6014? are the earlier versions not even worth buying?
also, thanks for your input

I have not seen the 6014 in person yet. So, I can't speak to that. The Smart Spark had more adjust-ability and a higher quality wiring harness than the 6010/6012 did. The 6010/6012 user interface was a little simpler and more intuitive, but I figured out the Smart Spark pretty quick.
As for the camshaft, I would recommend this one for what you are doing:

This cam was designed for your application. I used a similar camshaft to run 11 flat in my #3700 street cruiser and it drives great around town. But, in full disclosure, I work for Cam Motion. So, I am biased.

Keep us updated on what you do! I have an 86 Monte Carlo that I bracket race and am thinking about building something similar. It's going to have a glide with probably 4000 stall. I'm thinking factory L92 heads vic jr and not sure on cam yet. My end goal is 6.9-7.0 in the 1/8th.
I can't speak about cam size or what ignition for you, but I would recommend E85 if you have it available in your area and Mark Sullens for the carb.

I would run an MSD 6010/6012. Thousands of people running these boxes with no issues, will save you some coin over the Daytona box too although it is nice as well. I recently took off my Quickfuel and got a prosystems carb and absolutely love it. It has made driving the truck a lot more fun

Thanks for the input guy! i will definitely keep you updated.
I just got some more parts in today
pistons intake bearings studs head gaskets and lifters
Im not 100% throwing the motor in the g body, i got to looking in our storage building and thinking the 69 firebird might accept it quite well... time will tell
