i could easily pull this off with hoard of parts i've got rat holed away in the used power & speed equipment warehouse, but if i didn't have that leg up parts wise or the build was on a short time line so the luxury of waiting for a deal wasn't in the cards? this doesn't get done...
i don't find this to be acceptable and i wouldn't run it that way.
it may *look* fine, but you'll find that the steering will likely bind in one direction and "whip" in the other-- the inputs at the wheel will be different from side to side and no longer predictable. more than likely it will...
i love the discourse in threads like these.
the gnashing of teeth, the rending of garments, the mewling cries: tHaT's t0o mUcH m0nEy!!!11!!
yeah, it's carrying a little bit of the fried burger roadkill tax, but not that much of one. don't think so? here's an exercise for ya: put it to paper...

welp. looks like it's time to sell my 72 duster!
the doors work and there's no peek-a-boo roof option.
exactly half the price of that. limited time only for FABO gold members and extra 10% off!

you didn't say what else the combo is... so i'll assume a stock converter, manifolds and a rear gear that is sub 3.55
here's my suggestions:
melling 23103 it's kind of a riff on a stock 360 2bbl cam but with a tick more duration and tighter LSA. it's great with stock components and you won't...
per tire rack the BFG's and Coopers (i'm assuming that you're running one of those two) spec out at 26.1"
the 3.23's would be 60mph @ 2500, 72mph @ 3000
the 2.94's would be 66mph @ 2500, 79mph @ 3000
the 3.91's would be 50mph @ 2500, 59mph @ 3000
