Here is the question? How Streetable in a stick 65 Galaxie?? C9VE-A HEADS AND C9VE-B with a single 4bbl tunnel ram? Fun or Fantasy.

Not enough info about the motor internals, but if we are talking a stock motor with a tunnel ram, then I think that engine is very streetable in the car you mentioned.
The single four barrel tunnel rams offer lousy fuel distribution and you would be better off with a traditional 4-barrel intake or a 2x4 tunnel ram, distribution-wise. The 2x4 may be too much for a stock motor or with big carbs on top.

More info would be nice. Otherwise ditch the tunnel ram for the single four barrel manifold as the rpm range you'll be seeing the most will benefit.

i am using those heads.it took me fifty hours to port and polish those things.if they are ported correctly,usally barrel hogged and oversized first, you could easily run a tunnel.but why on the street? use a performer rpm or an air gap dual plane manifold which is still pretty high and has lots of plenum but with better bottom and mid response.i just recently ran a 2.35 second hundred foot run in a 4200pound truck.that is 56 miles per hour in 2,35 seconds with that set up . of coarse i have more than just that but,i can drive to work and not have to wait an hour for the manifold to warm up.. :toocool:
