I have had a '40 Coupe for over 12 years now and I'm very satisfied with my drive train. 1970 292, bored .030, Wolverine 270 cam, 1982 T-5 from a 305 Z-28, stock & rebuilt 1968 Nova 10 bolt with 3:55, 30" tall tires in back.
I get over 20mpg on the highway and about 18 in town. It has the Offy 3x1 with 5200 holley/Webers and auto choke. Pertronics II Electric ignition and Langdon's Headers. I have never needed to adjust or tinker with the motor for over ten years (20,000 miles)
Make sure you go with a water heated intake manifold. It makes you ride very streetable. Plenty of power and with the right mufflers, respect!
