Assumption will absolutely own you when you try to drive it. We are all trying to HELP you by giving you tips to reduce future aggrivation. It will run pig fat rich all the time as you said...but only until a certain RPM, when it will run out of fuel...by severely restricting the engine with log manifolds and a SO upper plenum/throttle body, you're not "evening" things out...put some shorties on it, at least an HO upper/TB and mass air the thing, then it'll run nice. If you try and drive it, I guarantee it'll pop, spit and bang the whole time...if you can even keep it running under a load...I didn't see if you specified auto or 5-speed, but I'm assuming auto...and if that's the case, have fun trying to two-foot it all around.
If you want to do a half-assed build, that's fine...but when people are trying to help, there really isn't a reason to get pen 15y about it just because it idled like for 20 seconds.
Regardless of which direction you go with it, good luck.
