A few more cubes and similar piston speeds to wring out 6500 rpm (or more  )
I will use all the old patina-ed parts I can, with the exception of buying THESE.
I will also look for an old offy or weiand aluminum manifold with the hole for the oil-filler tube to finish it off. I am also working on figuring out a good way to hide programmable spark timing.

I've got a vintage cross-ram dual quad intake...but it's not for sale, and I know a guy with a triple v-belt driven 4-71 blower topped with (4) 1bbls....he says he won't sell that either....
Petronics conversion in a vintage Mallory or Accel points distributor body....ooh yeah.
