What is the "perfect" street/strip package......for the average Moparian

My perfect street/strip (more "hot street") build...
Magnum 360 block.
4" steel crank.
About 9-9.5:1 compression, to run <91 octane gas.
Good aluminum heads, CNC ported, probably Edelbrock. Maybe Speedmaster.
Heads modified externally with the outer surface roughed up to look like iron.
Single-plane intake, ported and matched to the heads.
1000cfm ThermoQuad, thin plastic spacer.
Whichever cam Hughes suggests.
TTI headers, 3" exhaust to the mufflers, 2.5" tailpipes with resonators.
Mopar electronic distributor.

Engine should be installed in an A-body, with a Silver Sport 5-speed and 3.23 gears. Engine should also be dressed to look like a stock engine, should pass for a 318 as long as nobody pulls the air cleaner lid. If anyone asks, it's a stock 318 with headers. :steering:

Interesting you make mention of the 1000 cfm Thermoquad as my plans for my fathers 68 GTS 340 is to replicate loosely what the F.A.S.T guys are doing with everything essentially looking stock and my plans for that engine is an R3 block, 440" cu, lot of compression, ported W2's, heavily modified and ported LD340 intake to accept either the early 850 competition Thermoquad or the 1000 cfm one whichever is deemed best at that point.....I have all 4 versions of those carbs, extrude honed exhaust manifolds and a Nascar style mechanical fuel pump with 3/8" ports. The whole thing will look as stock as possible and will probably be my favorite and most special build.
