Dual carbs and headers on a 235 are just eye candy- - - -the truck will usually run better on the single carb/single exhaust. The cylinder head in between those parts is incapable from benefitting from the increased carburetion and exhaust volume. If you want an inline six rig that will run those kinds of speeds, you'll need to go with a Chevy 292, a Ford 300, or maybe a Jag or Toyota Supra powertrain. While you're at it, graft in the front and rear suspension and brakes from a sports car. Jerry
