Default sbc with tunnle ram

I want to build a sbc for my s10 and i want to be able to use a tunnle ram intake on it. Summit has a weiand tunnle ram combo with 2 600 holley carbs, but it says the HEI distributor will not work. What kind of distributor will i need to use? How much motor will it take to be able to run the dual 600 carbs?

That would be a pretty wicked setup on a 406 with large-port heads and a large solid roller cam. I guess bigger cubes aren't necessary though as I've seen sheet metal tunnel rams on 358 CID motors making plenty of power. They usually run a damn good set of heads (think AFR 227) along with a huge SR cam and a good shot of nitrous though.

ANy of the "standard" size distributors will work. For example: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku as well as many others. An HEI distributor will not work because it is physically too big to clear the side of the tunnel ram intake.
