Nice, but ditch the carb and intake. A single 4 on a victor will make more peak power and alot more power over the entire curve.

well we put that intake on because of the cam and pistons we are going to be putting into it soon(12.5:1, and the lift of the cam was over .650 and it had massive duration, i can't remember what exactly i will go look in a sec.) We ran it today with massive tire slip(crappy stock car tires lol) and it still ran a 7.9 at 91 mph pretty good for at over 4000 ft. Next year we are going to run a 250 dual stage shot, and get some proper tires under her. Also needed is a higher stall converter up closer too 4500-5000 it stalls right now at about 3200-3300 which is way to low but we still spin tires launching from that

I will go check with my father who did most of the engine swap, i am pretty sure they are truck headers, i know the passenger side fit right in but to drivers side needed a bit of work done to it, for motor mounts we used old ford econoline van motor mounts and welded em in place.

I think with a more modern Victor Jr intake single plane manifold you will pick up some power. Unless you are spinning crazy RPM (beyond 7500rpm) that tunnel ram is outdated.

A C6 sucks up about 30-40hp vs. running a C4 due to parasitic drag from heavier internals plus they are portly trannies...

Other than look looks like a fun car.

well we had a c6 that was just rebuilt so we figured we would use it instead of going out and buying a c4, same goes with the tunnel ram. Although this one has much shorter and smaller runners then any other tunnel ram i have seen
