Thanks,guys.
Stock49, that was a very informative reply, makes it pretty easy to understand.
Thanks for your reply!
What are you going to use for intake and carb/carbs?
I am going the pretty much follow the McGurk 261 buildup from the 1955 article. (antique style also)
I am going to play around with a 3x1 intake with Strombergs, but I also have a 2x1 intake with strombergs as a backup if I run into trouble for a street setup. Being a open front streetrod the motor will be exposed for the world to see and I can't think of anything better to look at than a 3x1 setup.
