So, I blew up a 289 with a mild cam and a 4 barrel carb. Floated and dtopped a valve and well...there went the 289. So I got a 94 351w block with roller lifters, put a lunati voodoo cam in it with appropriate parts to support the bigger cam and the 650 carb from the 289. But this motor won't pull like the little 289. I figured it'd fly down the street. It has torque, I'll give it that but no power. I need a valve adjustment and can't get the correct timing until then but will that be my problem? It should pick up a bit of power but 300hp+ like it should?
Bigger Engine Less Performance Help?

Welcome to Stangnet!
Tell us more about the 351. Beyond the cam, what mods does it have?
The 650 carb will be enough for a mild 351, but if you done much else, you might need to step up to a 750. Really depends on the supporting modifications though.
Things like new heads, type of intake, ignition system, stock short block or not.
What vehicle is the motor currently in?
