Looks like I have more homework to do then! That's cool.

A lot of why I want to do one of these crazy cars just has to do with "feel", with passion. I really want a total throwback to that era. If that can be achieved and still use the fuel injection, then I may go that route. The whole tinkering with the carbs thing might be part of what I want the experience to be, though.

I'm thinking HP and torque should both be in the 450-500 range. From all I've read, that should certainly be achievable and would give this thing PLENTY of grunt. Transmission will be a wide-ratio Top Loader, case closed. No idea on the rear-end gearing: mid 3's?

I'm committed to the FE for this project, I know that much! Thanks to all.
