You know what, knowing what I now know that would have been the best road to take, but I wanted a stock looking engine compartment, where the only deviation from stock would be a set of headers. I wanted to just port the stock cast iron intake and use the stock Thermoquad with the choke and everything else working. Stock valve covers, air filter etc... Just a good flowing set of cast iron heads, a nice hydraulic roller somewhere in the 230 degree at .050, a good set of roller rockers, and the only thing that you could see from the outside that was not stock was a set of TTi or Doug's headers. Hopefully a combo that with 3.55 gears and the 4 speed could run in the high 12's... If I were to do this again I would not even think of doing cast iron heads and go straight to a set of trick flows, but the aluminum heads just damage the illusion of the stock looking engine compartment, and look too modern for the look I was going for.
