Manifold HP

IF this were I, I would use the 4spd trans. A 245/60/15 wheel & tire. (27 inch max tire diameter!) I'd skip the Hyd. roller cam myself. Umless you have a Magnum engine.
A cam duration @ .050 of 224 (-ish), 1.6 rockers, valve springs to match. (Call me crazy, but to expand the camshafts flexibility...) Top of the line Rhodes lifters, (Also available for the Chrysler Hyd. roller cam) adjustable duration units set at the max on the intake. Stock lifter on the exhaust.

OE or Edelbrock Performer intake. 650 cfm carb.
Interesting concept.
 
Yes I'm leaning towards the 4 speed. 255/60R15. I figured the roller cam can provide better cam profiles.
Indeed so. If your up for the expense, have at it. In my wives roller 360, I used a Comp Hyd. roller. It is a bit of a different build than yours but still the same idea. The extra advantages are the cubic inch advantage, headers, ported Edelbrock heads & 1.6 roller rockers. The stall is 2400 and the 8-3/4 rear has 3.55's on 26 inch tires.

And goes like scat!

The funny thing about this build was not only did I want to use my Edelbrock dual plane dual quad but when I tuned into engine masters they had a similar Chevy with almost the same everything on a show. It made some nice power. IDK if I believe it to be honest. Seems a bit generous, not quit sure of the cylinder heads port size or the intakes port size as well as vs. the MoPar sizes. The Engine Masters SB Chevy is IIRC 370 cubes and produced 471 @ 5700 / 468 Lbs. / TQ @ 4300.

Nice! It seems generous but I like generous.

That should be doable. A little over 1.25/cube. Now a 400 horse 318 is the same deal.
