I came here b/c my 66 that I am building has a 5.0 347 afr heads and a paxton on it.
I went with the blowthru carb in a box design.
I kept the top loader 4speed for now with a 325 currie 9" posi.
I ditched the shock towers for a Rod and custom tubular arm mustang 2 kit.
The rear is Grab a track 5 leaf mid eye on urethane.
17" Eleanor style wheels.

I feel I can chat engines more with you guys.

welcome, sounds like a nice car. hows the blow through working out for you? not exactly the most common setup. any drivability issues?

It is being built right now. lol
The guy I have doing it does all of Year ones cars and this is his thing.
He will be on t.v. next month in some topgun shootout with yearone and the big boys out there.
He is a local Atlanta carb building pro.

Tuning will be a breeze for him but it would fry my brain.
One thing about this design is my car has zero vacuum needs.
The Paxton design is pressurized but somehow has a way of keeping a flat vacuum on the carb?
For a stock or mild 302 a off the shelf holly would work fine but my needs are 500+ rwhp
