so what you are saying is, with some tuning , i should be able to make this set up work, i have the motor in a 1968 dodge coronet, 727 with stock covertor and i have 3.55 gears,

so you think i can jet the carb. down to get the running rich down a bit, i really do not want to run a stall or higher gear, it is really just going to be a weekend cruiser, not a drag strip car , i really like the feel of the big cam, however , i am getting tired of changing out plugs about every other mth, just sitting in the garage at idle, i did go around the block, the car runs out strong, however, the raw gas fumes are terrible, it will light the back tires up, however, the gas fumes come into the car , and just sitting at idle, you can see the flood smoke coming out the tail pipes, car running way to rich.
