New to carb- ls3 Build I dont need anything crazy or super fancy, just looking for a god stout motor.
what i have is an l92, its going to machine shop tomorrow going to determine if need 4.075 4.080, either way.
vic jr single plane
pro systems carb, 850 i believe, had them build it about 8 months ago as thats when i planned on doing the build.
i bought a set of used scoggin dickey cnc ls3 heads, have dual springs, stainless valves and trunion upgraded rockers, theyre not milled, just re surfaced.
will do 1 7/8 headers
going to be ordering an msd 6014.
the motor i have was a burnt unit, so i will have to acquire a wire harness which i believe i can get thru chevy performance?
what is a solid cam choice? the asked a million time question.
might do nitrous, but wont be right off the bat, is that going to make a huge difference in my cam choice?
can i just get a flat top piston without reliefs? or should i get reliefs?
planning on going in a 76 nova, 350 trans, not sure what going to do with gears and rear end at the moment, just kind of want a motor that can be thrown in anythying and have a 550ish flywheel hp?
im stumped and just want a solid build to follow.

Definitely get valve reliefs. It will greatly increase your range of camshaft selection.
As far as selecting a camshaft, I would contact one of the many great manufacturers and get a custom one made.
