Food for thought. The only thing that looks better than a dual four barrel carb set up is webbers. A single 4 barrel would be easier and perhaps run better, but a tunnel port needs two for wow factor.

Webbers would be great, but the cost and PIA factor wouldn't be worth it for me, but it might be to you. My hat is off to anyone who has them.

Just an opinion from a wanna be - I would stroke it and go with the Hydraulic roller lifters as Blykins suggested. I would stay more to the mild side on the cam. Not so much lift as to stress parts and 240 ish duration at .050 lift. I would be happy with a peak Hp around 5500 rpm or less for a street car. I would not want to spin such a hard to find and expensive engine over 6000. Just me.
