Howdy, Thanks to all for their advice so far. I've been searching old threads to answer most questions, but thought I'd put this one out there...
Was reading that on a red 186 a 350 Holley (while better than a stromie) won't be as efficient as a small 4 barrel. Is a 465 too big - does it need to be a 390?
[I have a 465 but it needs rebuilding - should still be cheaper (?) than a new 390].
If the 465 is ok, what jet size / squirters / pump spring / & power valve should be fitted?
It's a standard 186 that will have extractors & electronic ignition. Will put a cam & some head work on another motor at a later date (haven't decided 186 or 202 yet - I'll have to see what comes up at the righ price), but this is just to get me mobile, but also the parts that I can strap onto the other motor when it's completed, so save buying even more stuff. Thanks again dudes!
The Beige Hornet.

Sorry, also forgot to ask does anyone know about Edelbrock carbs. Would there be a suitable one...? (they're just so SHINEY!)

The 390 suits a 186 better than a 465 but the 465 is still a GREAT carb for the larger Holden 6's.
I can't remember the jets, etc that I ran in mine now :-(
I had one on a worked 186 for years. It went really well and was quite economical if I kept
