I like em simple for the street, vacuum secondary's with a heavy spring, disc brakes, modern rubber, electronic ignition from the later years, street gears, anything over 11-1 comp. on the street is a pain if you want to run all the timing with the amount of crazy overlap the truly hot old motors had.
My old man had a dual quad 409 4 spd cars 13.5 to 1, like clockwork you'd get a couple passes and it would just have hot start problems like crazy, used to have to pop start that big ol 63
