A 351C with 4V heads, 10:1 compression, the Cobra Jet cam, Blue thunder manifold, 750 cfm carb properly jetted, and a dialed-in ignition will have plenty of pep at low rpm, good street manners. The proper gears (and torque converter if applicable) finish off the combination.
The 4V heads are tuned for 7000 rpm, its up to the rest of the combination to fill in the bottom end of the powerband. This is just opposite of the situation with other motors.
