Back in the early seventies (when premium 100 octane gas was 36 cents per gallon) I ran a big cube, big block, two 650 cfm, t-ram intake, 12.5 compression, .680 lift cam. All this was in an old English Ford Anglia.

This car was a lot of fun on the street. All that power and very little weight made for some mighty impressive evenings with the guys.

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER!!

The car took constant maintainance, s-plugs every week. Idled at a different rpm, every day the barometric pressure changed. And you had to be carefull if it was a bit cool out side, as she would shoot flames about three or four ft above the car if you tipped the throttle on a cold engine. Blow the power valves. Then rebuild the carbs!. Fun, but now I'm older and wiser??

What you want to do is not do-able and have any reasonably running engine. First you have a low compression, mild engine that cannot use the plenum volume. An intake designed to work at rpms above where your motors max rpm are. Two carbs where one that size would would be plenty for that stock type engine.

If you could get it running= poor idle(if any). poor mileage. No power. No driveability. BUT it shure looks cool! Leave it parked out front.

So you have an intake plenum full of fuel/air and you open the throttle a bit, while you are cruising with that stock drivetrain and rear gear ratio. BANG! Just like a blower explosion in the old days.
