I also read with interest your Langdon carb install, however I was lucky and my dual Carter/Webers run great out of the box. The straight six with dual carbs and Wayne covers does attract lots of interest and compliments at car shows though. I like the idea of using the stock fan with the electric back/up, I have to see if my stock fan will clear the radiator.

I have a 3.08 Camaro rear with a 2-groove Saginaw (3.11 - 1.00) with 215/75 - 15 front, and 235/70 - 15 rear. I have to slightly slip the clutch on a hill, but good spacing up to freeway speeds once I get going. I do have an old S-10 T-5 (4.03 - 0.76) but that means new driveshaft and rear gears.
