Nice. That is pretty much the plan I have for mine. So far I plan on EFI manifolds, clifford intake, the same cam kit you have, and ported/polished head with a holley 600 cfm carb. Let me know how it does.

I wanted to point out something. I believe you have your carb sitting in the wrong position. I believe it should be turned 180*, so the throttle linkage is on the firewall side. That way the primaries are on the engine side of the intake.

It sure is sitting wrong i have it sitting that way because the throttle linkage would bind up between the heater box and one time i was driving got on it and i got unexpected acceleration when i didnt want it (scary). I haven't noticed anything in driveabilty issues or performance if anything i noticed it picks up a tad better sitting this way at higher speeds. Non the less thats my reason on it sitting the wrong way.

The "correct" orientation is the Offy recommendation. "I haven't noticed anything in driveabilty issues or performance..." That's the main point...practical application and at least neutral or positive results count for something.
