Mine was crustier, should be fine. That intake & cam,should wake it up. If you jump to E.Q. heads ,work the plenum/ drop that divider intake plane down.(J.M.O.)
No budget for eq heads. This is just gonna be my street beater. Plan to do another one for my 65 valiant . That one is gonna get the good stuff. This motor is gonna suprise me I think. I'm shooting for low 13s in my dakota
