Here's my opinion:
- It looks pretty cool.
- If it was about what was fastest or most reliable, we would all be driving either a fox mustang (or something else lighter than a Camaro) or a Honda Civic.
I say go for it. In fact, I think those big blocky valve covers have a bit of vintage hemi hue. If I were building a "traditional" looking rod, i would look into it. I wonder if you could fab a 6-71 blower intake for one of those.
