Red face pale rider

Well I finally downloaded pics of the hot rod , successfully I hope . So far I discovered I had a blown head gasket I replaced them in the process I found out it had one " j " head and one "g" head on it. I replaced both heads with the G heads off of a 71 block . Now I have no fire going to the middle two cylinders on the passenger side . And also every time I put it in drive it stalls out and gas shoots out the carb . The engine is a 455 with a holley 650 and a stage one cam . Basically I am cleaning someone else's mess up .

I was gonna say that too, Welcome to the site. You might check your float level and do a compression check on those two. Tune up all ready mentioned... Sounds like you got a couple of problems going on.
