The T2 is not worth running two reasons in a motor built like yours and in a car like yours.
1) your not running enough Cam to make the needed great port velocity thru that intake that translates into a torquey street motor.
2) they add enough height to the carb such that you you have to jump thru hoops to fit a good air cleaner that will not end up being a restriction!
If you have a factory iron intake from 68 and up without a EGR valve then that will work great!
If not that then to save some weight get your hands on a performer.
They also work great with stock heads and will pull hard to 5400 rpm with a 406 cid motor.
Which year 16s did you get?
I would shoot for a 9.2 to a 9.5 compression ratio.
