"65 Cuda" complete dream resto.

I'm in East Bend about 15 miles West of Winston. Thank you for the compliments, been workin on the heads for the last 3 day's. Brought the crank in Tues, 1 1/2 wk wait so am goin Rooter-Rooter on the Heads and Block. Kernersville is 30 min away, would be cool to hook up and go over notes.. I decided to go with the 2 bbl Intake and port the gap as wide as I can get it, it's a dual plenum and has pretty descent sized runners so gettin a adaptor plate but am thinkin what would be my best Carb choice. Prob going w/the 340 Hippo or maybe a step up for the cam, found out it has 4" pistons and the heads have hardened seats so that's a big plus. I have a set of 5.9 Magnum Exh manifolds, twice thw size of the 318's and looks like I'll be able to squeeze the gap, very budget minded build but want to get everything in sinc. HaHaHaHaHA simple eh??? Been having a great time workin on it, Ya'll take care and if have any suggestions shoot away.
