Offenhauser Manifold with Stromberg Carbs (6-Pack/Tri-Power)

I wonder if a 440 would have driveability issues if the carbs are linked non-progressive,especially at low speeds.More so with a manual tranny.
A long time ago a fella brought me his 389 Poncho, auto, for that very issue. I converted it to progressive and he was a happy guy.
