1970 super bee UK england

Welcome from the show me state, nice ride!!
 
Hi Karlee, WELCOME to FBBO. I like your orange B, I always thought they had a wicked looking front end/grill/bumper, like it would eat you alive. I have two Carter 500cfm AFB's synchronized linkage, they were fun back in my late '70's early '80's street racing scene. Accel Super coil and 8mm Fatstuff wires, Mopar Electronic Ignition, solid motor mounts, Thrush straight though mufflers (what did you say), Gabriel adjustable shocks up front, super stock leaf springs with frowned upon in the Mopar fraternity, Lakewood traction bars with the rubber snubbers up against the front spring mount (I was 18). I shifted the 727 TF with a Winters/Fairbanks cable setup in the center console box and the 727 was if IIRC, something built like the transmissions with the stripes painted on them, except I would not have the stripes I was told. Turbo Action/Cheetah rings a bell. I can't remember much about the torque converter. Assembly line 3.91 rear gears turning L60-15 rubber. But that was then and this is now, so listen to what works in todays world. I just had to cover the most ground in the quickest time. Some times the race was over in 20' other times it went a city block or two. I never went up against anybody on the interstate, she had short legs. I just had a flash back, eleven cop cars, unmarked and cruisers as we called them, 454ci Chevys pulled me over one night, that was a hell of a lot of flashing red and blue lights. The good thing was that they did not see us (a Ford) racing, so they only got me for excessive noise. Sorry guys an girls, I got off track.

The only way to get experience is to experience it.... I would go with some taller tires though. Fill the wheel wells or lower it. I would do the first. BUT, it looks beautiful. Mopar or no Car.
 
I rather do a six pack set up than 2 4bls. Although tuning a six pack can be a nightmare also. I've always had trouble with mind and just when I think I have set up right, I'll come back later and will have to start over. A single 650 edelbrock is perfect for the 383. Put some 4:10's in the rear if you want some fun!

Nice thing about the six pack is that its only running 350 cfm's on the center carb which is suppose to be Mopars answer to fuel economy. It's not until you punch it and vacuum opens the outboard carbs that you get the extra 1000 cfm's equaling the two 650 4 barrels. Great theory but fuel injection is definitely the way to go in today's world. Looks cool...
