Why not run a Max Wedge or a Hemi? Seriously, the carb on a street wedge is a bottle neck and the heads are on the mediocre side. Maybe the low horsepower factor would mitigate these shortcomings.

We did some testing on the flow bench and found that the 516s flowed equal or slightly better than the 915s. Remember you only get .424" lift so ginormous numbers aren't that important.

I've got enough problems without jumping into the Super Stock side of the pool but none the less I am intrigued by the GT classes. What about building a '77/'78 440? It comes with good heads and a huge carb...

Good luck. Run the '64--the world needs more ugly old Mopars!
