I'm thinkin' a cool motor would be an RB, longram style, but twin turbo'd, either blow-through carbs, or EFI with the turbos where the longram carbs would be... Inboard headlamps look like a good place to duct air from. Not sure what all the '61 color choices were, but that body style is wild enough that it doesn't need any graphics to stand out. Might be amusing to go with 2-toned stock colors, but that's just me.

i was considering turbos,and using the headlight holes also, but i just haven't warmed up to the idea of the engine compartment looking like my cummins dually's... the power would be great, but i'm old school i guess and am leaning towards a big azz blower sticking out of the hood. (i had a blower on a mild 440 before)
