Keep it cheap as possible and see where it lands. Maybe better than you thought. I was curious on the carb though. Can it be a dual jet or is it the computer carb.
It doesn't have to be a feedback carb. You just need a 1.21 venturi dual jet. Basically ,it's the front half of an 800 Q jet.
You guys DO know ,you're going to have to put a custom 12 bolt in that car, in order to be able to play with the gears?
I'd figure out a baseline on the ratio, and then ,when you go lower and don't pick up 60' but lose MPH, go back to where you were!
BTW, if you're not too deep into that car, I'd back right out of it ,and into a 78 Camaro 305 2 GC 2bbl car .
You could use the 8.5 rear that comes in them.
