That's a bad ass car.  What kind of induction system did you have?  Your namesake may be an indication.  If so, how was that exotic setup?  I was suggesting the cross-boss for a friend but he seems to want to keep the stock carb on it.  The cross-boss aesthetically is very pleasing to the eye.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Yep, I ran the Cross-Boss and the 875cfm Inline. Check out my avatar...a 1425cfm 'B' Inline on my current Boss 429 (Can-Am 494) engine.

Back when Scott owned the car it ran really strong. He had done a really good job setting the car up. He let me drive it once going down to the Ford Power Parts Show. He drove a Calypso Coral BOSS 302 for me and I got to drive his. It was a rocket.

Hov has a CROSS BOSS and 875 CFM carb on his BOSS and with a good bit of tuning and some minor work it Idles around 900 RPM and has fairly nice manners. I got stuck in Seattle traffic when I drove Hov's car and it behaved itself and was no worse than a stock BOSS 302 to drive that day.

If your friend gets one encourage him to get it running correctly.
