Sequential EFI or milder cam with less overlap.
I'd be throwing the 1850s in the bin, fit a pair of 600 Edelbrocks.

Not quite sure why you'd say that, Lovehamr--I bought an already running Cobra replica with a Holley carb, and despite having been fiddling with these beasts for decades I just couldn't bring it to its knees.
I bought an Edelbrock, just for grins, and the thing pulls hard from idle to redline........much better than any Holley I've ever had.
Having said that, though, I feel a case of GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) for a 600 CFM double pumper, center hung floats Holley.....would love to see if I could get one of those to run like the current Edelbrock. Gotta love the looks of a good Holley!!!
