Wow! The car was "Swiss cheese"?

I have no experience with that recommended carburetor, a little with Carters, a bunch with Holleys, an addiction to Webers.

That's the manifold I meant, yes.

If you do the heads with epoxy, you have to do the intake to match it.

It would probably be cheaper to buy a set of existing Ford "high port" aluminum heads already done. Then you are into probably 625-650hp? Even considering the import expenses and taxes. Declare them as used auto parts. that will help some usually.

Even 550hp now is not enough to run even in the middle of the pack in vintage racing. You need around 600 if not more.

You have to see it to believe it. I have seen it. Shocking really...oh and 8,500 rpm downshifts! These guys are very serious and if you can't run with them you had better know how to get out of their way. I'm happy with a very fast street car. I can handle that.
