i've had this on the engine stand for some time. trying to talk myself back into the 6pak game.
Ya, but... Would you run manifold or headers?
manifolds. not because i love manifolds but because it'll go in a car that already has a stock type exhaust. i would just be picking up were i left off 20yrs ago. and, as motivated as i am anymore it might end up in the estate sale.
And 20+ years ago, Lew was running 13.00 at 108 mph in his beautiful, 69 RT with manifolds, 3.23, on pump gas using some of those crappy old school, slow ramp junk Chevy type cams. Of course the car only weighed 4050 lb or so IIRC.
