Looks good, and it's coming along well.
I wanted to get BP N50's for my Camaro, but they're obnoxiously expensive, so I have BFG TA's as well but it just isn't the look I wanted. I may go from 295/50's to 275/60's to get more sidewall height, we'll see.
I had to figure out how to make my dual carb linkage work with the GMC blower as the linkage I had with my old tunnel ram just didn't fit. I went with a throttle cable and a kit from Summit. I had to make some changes to make it work (bending turnbuckles primarily) and it's not perfect, but it works pretty well. With the rounded sides of the GMC blower, there needs to be a way to make the linkage "bend" around the blower sides so I made a plate that mounts down by the base of the blower. The linkage can bind at WOT, so that's a bit disconcerting and I'm trying to resolve that now. I never thought of doing a setup like yours where the cable is mounted up high with a straight shot to the carb throttle arms. May have to see if that will work for me to eliminate that possible binding situation.
