Email from MOFOCO: Engine/Trans Combo

Hi Jim,

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you.  I am a new father with an 8 day old son, which is amazing, so I’m pulling triple duty between home and work.  I think your best option is going to be our 1776 project streetwise engine and a stock transmission.  For your use, there is no need to waste money on a monster engine.  The project streetwise will give you a little more than 100hp with the dual weber 40 IDF carbs.  To get yourself better low end and throttle response, I can put in a different cam and 1.25 to 1 ratio rockers.  As for the trans, we can build one with the 4.12 ring and pinion.  This is what I used on mine and it gives great get up and go from 0-60.  Here are the links to our website on these items.
