Sorry it took me so long to realize it but, is this planned build based on nostalgia of what was done in the past? If so then, I guess it was me on the soap box.
For nostalgia, Chevrolet parts on Chevrolet engines...no F@&d parts. Carter W-1 is definitely the way to go. Stromberg 14-22 are good to excellent but hard to find. Rochester B can be finicky and leaky. You use the carburetors that were available in that era. I would definitely plan on running non-Ethanol.
Keeping the closed driveshaft (torque tube)?
It would have been better if the posting was started in the The HiPo Shop section.
