I'm wondering at what rpm's a '61 would spool a 20g-yikes? As a daily driver methinks a 16g would be almost the largest one would want; sure you might lose some ultimate speed but on the street what is a second when traction is usually the limiting factor anyway.
I too want a stock appearing(sleeper) exterior so have tossed the stock rad and had a custom(honda sized) three core unit made so the intercooler is beside the rad next to the battery where there is lots of room for it and also having benefit of short piping. Another benefit with this setup is the room to place a cooling fan on the intercooler. One problem with this is airflow as the bumper rebar is HUGE and directly in front, so that is removed and replaced with a much smaller rebar(easy to make).
