Sounds like a fun build! I think it should be 500-ish HP and a boat load of torque. I have read that tunnel rams want more carb than common sense would dictate and that in an application like yours, two 750's would perform better. However I have never ran one so I can't say with any confidence. You didn't mention it but please tell me you are recurving whatever distributor you end up using.

The 600s will work but I believe 2 750s would improve the driveability and power output considerably, however fuel mileage would decrease considerably as well.

Sounds like a neat build and I too would love to see some pics.
