I guess I've missed your goal for your project. Are you just having fun messing around with old out-dated technology, maybe fine tuning here and there to get a bit more power than they did in the '50's and '60's?
Or are you trying to outrun the new stuff (computerized fuel injection and ignition, coil-on-plug, crank triggered, etc.)? Add in modern port design, camshaft design, combustion chamber shape, etc., and the battle is lost. The fun factor remains, however!
And at Bonneville there are still classes where the old school guys can race each other so all is not lost.
