1.7 RR's would be nice but you would have to change the springs.. should be around 275ish hp.. I would rather go with shortys with this setup.. but everyone has their own preference..

Probably the 280-300 range, crank hp

Don't do it box stock, match the heads to the lower, and smooth out the runners and turns. Work on the exhaust ports too
