I had a similar set up a while back on a 327... Used the low-rise dual quad manifold with with a set of Carter AFBs... I had a set of chevy fuelee heads with 2.02/1.60 valves and a 455/290 Lunatti cam... Seemed to work pretty good, just wish I would have gone with a steeper stall converter like one of the ones Richard suggested...

Hope this helps...
