I'm with Jay and JDC on their thinking.  That manifold might behave a little nicer below peak torque than the SV, but it will have it's hands full to stay in the game past 5500 rpm versus the SV.  The Super Victor is a very good manifold for it's intended purpose.  I think the 4-hole spacers are the way to go, but stagger jetting the carbs would help it.  Eight O2's in the primary tubes would be ideal, but don't forget there are still a few guys around who can read a spark plug the good old fashioned way.  It will want more jet in the low runners/less jet in the high runners, but you need at least a baseline collector O2 sensor to get in the ballpark if you want to tweak the tune by stagger jetting and reading the plugs.

I will be using my Innovate unit for the tune help. Haven't had the car at the track in the last 2 or 3 years and street cruising with a blast or two on the on ramps is what I do now. Even with a 3.50 gear along with the 5 spd trans it has seen 10.90's
 @ 132 with a very easy launch and I'm sure there was much more in it.But there's just something about two Holleys in a row on this thing to make it complete and another check off on my bucket list.
Many thanks for the tuning tips and will let you guys know how it all works out!

Question for Barry and Jay while we are on this topic.  I have a pair of Barry's 750 carbs on the way.  They are going on a Blue Thunder 2 X 4 medium riser intake (468 CID Genesis).  Would there be any advantage to running 2" tall open spacers?

The BT intake has the four holes on top under each carb, so unless you machine those away I don't think the open spacers will do you much good.  Spacers are funny, and they might be worth a try on the dyno, but I don't think that combination will work well...
