CH> Hmm.  Did you notice if the power band moved up or down?  I wonder if
 CH> it's too much cam for the carb/ports/compression?
 
Overall, power is down across the band, with a slight bent to higher end 
capabilities. That brute-force-grunt just doesn't seem to be there at any
speed. 

 CH> the brand, but no web site with specs found.  J.C.Whitney lists the
 CH> cams, but with their own part number.  Useless.

I'll keep on looking. 

 CH> I'm looking for a 454 throttle body myself.  Been slowly collecting
 CH> parts for a 366 BBC I found.  Got pistons, bearings, gasket set and a
 CH> bunch more stuff.  Even scored a TBI intake for a tall deck, which the
 CH> 366 is. Need the throttle body next.  eBay has them, but they end up
 CH> going for $150US or so.  Not worth it for a used (misused?) piece.
 
I was told the big block tbi unit (and its adaptor) will bolt to a typical
4bbl manifold. Have I been mis-informed on that?  

 ->Currently we're about 10 below freezing, with night time temps dipping furth
 ->no snow within the past week, but did get around 8" last
weekend. Supposedly
 ->we'll be hoving around the freezing point in the coming week.

 CH> Our high has been at or below freezing for much of the past month. 
 CH> Low is quite a bit below freezing.  All in all, a normal winter - for
 CH> about 30 years ago.  The past couple of decades has been mild and dry. 
 CH> Many ski resorts have had a bad time of it until this year.

I typed that too soon. Last night we hit a new record low of -27C (with a minus
40 somthing windchill). Todays been hovering around -18.  D*mn cold! 

Alex.
