are you planning to put a large hood scoop on your car?

i was going to use just about the identical set up your talking about excpt for the cubic inch displacement but have sence decided to go with a fe for the following. now dont get excided it may well work with the kit your going to use, im going with the unique motorcars 427.
1. the width of the 385 series and the way the exaust works requires major modification to the unique motorcars footbox making it almost impossible to put the 3 pedals in for standard.
it also will create extra heat in the footbox.
2. the #7 and #8 spark plugs are unaccessable from the engine compartment, have to create access panels in footbox.
3. even with hoodscoop there is amost no ground clearance
4. stearing linkage has to be relocated and modified to work

I dont have the measurements for that distributor but can get them tomorrow for you
