Why are you going to run a carb? (just curious) A friend of mine had the same setup in his chevette and ran as low as 10.12's.

I'm guessing because it was already set up for a carb...as I noticed the regulator over on the pass. inner fender.

yeah its been done alot with the smaller holsets people still kinda stay away from these h1e/hx40.

FWIW i had a full size powerstroke unit in the front of my T/C at one time.so the cummins unit may fit.
