My brother just bought a Paxton SC for his 351 Windsor that he's putting in his 74 Bronco and called me for some advice...

The important details on his motor are:

Edlebrock Performer Intake
Edlebrock 750 Carb
Crower 256 Baja Beast Cam
TRW 9:1 Forged Flattop Pistons
Mallory Unilite Distributor/Hi-Fire Box
Don't know what crank he has in it...

Some thoughts I had on this install and tuning it are that the compression may be too high, his crank may be too weak, and that he may need some sort of blow off valve for the Paxton (he got it off of EBay, and I don't think that was included)...

I guess all of the same basics apply with timing, AF, spark blowout, etc., as they do with our motors, and he's already got the rod/jet kit for when we hit the dyno...

Any tips/pointers on this kind of thing before I melt something? :)
