Hello YBF,

New member here, first post! I recently purchased a 1956 Victoria with a stock 292 and 3 speed with OD. Love the car, and it'll do 70mph all day. I'm a younger guy with a hot rod and muscle car background. To be honest, the car is a great for going down the highway, but lacks "personality" around town. I'm looking to have a hopped up 292 built to make the car a little bit more fun. 

So far I've planned to use:
292 block
312 crank
G posted heads
-B intake
Holley Sniper EFI
Reads 4 into 1 headers

I was curious if anyone out there has done a similar build? Any experience using Holley Sniper EFI? Any guidance on using an MSD distributor vs a stock one with Petronix?

Any help is greatly appreciated! 

-Eric
