Do you have the car? engine?
If I were starting from scratch with this combo I would get a good, solid reman short block and head and a good c-4 and just get the car running with what I could scrounge up. See what is available from cam manufacturers and get something on the small side. Try and borrow a converter or "buddy-up" with a sympathetic converter manufacturer who will work with you and just put it in to see how the car reacts. Don't put too much gear in it.
What you're looking for is how and where this combo is going to make torque and HP. Once you have a rough idea of that, you can start to improve in the right direction.
If you think that you're going to just throw together the correct combo on the first try, especially when you're dealing with a one-off combo like this then you had better look at another combo.
I agree I actually have a 66 mustang sitting here and was wondering on that comb after reading this thread, thank you for info and input
