The "don't cares" at the bottom of the original post isn't to hurt any feelings. It's just an attempt at avoiding the same generic responses that aren't actually helpful. I know some people just don't get that.
I understand that the tunnel ram isn't optimal for daily driving. I also understand that I could go as fast or faster with a single plane and one carb. That isn't the point of this build! If I was going for ultimate speed I wouldn't be building this car like this.
I'm trying to capture the look and feel of a ridiculous '60s-'70s street racer. The tunnel ram is gonna happen and I'm keeping the 4spd. I'm just trying to get some advice to make what I have as good as it can be.
