0) I noticed that you list a Ford 8-inch rear end under "future plans". I would strongly recommend that you instead plan on a 9-inch with at least 31-spline axles, especially with the added HP your stroker gave you, and especially if you plan on tracking the car.
1) I'm kinda surprised at your choice of wheels. I think Minilites would be more appropriate (and you can still get them new if you're wiling to pay the price).
2) You should look into changing to a QuickFuel carb. Much higher quality than Holley junk, and come with features Holley's don't have, such as an adjustable vacuum secondary.
BTW, nice car.

I went with the fr500 wheel's because they reminded me of modern day retro Eleanor wheel.
I originally wanted to go with quick fuel but if this one fails, then I'll change it. I really want their 750cfm Billet version carb...
