66 Dodge Monaco 500 Convertible

I am fixing up a '66 Dodge Monaco Convertible with my pops, and it's turning out really nicely. Unfortunately for me, I can't find any information on it, not to mention since it's not finished I can't get the specs myself. I've only got this much info on it, so anything you guys have (even a guess) would be useful:

Weight: Just under 4000lbs
Engine: 383 Magnum
Carbs: Dual four barrel (Holleys)

Also, the convertible was only available in Canada, in case you guys haven't seen it before.

I have no idea what the top speed/acceleration is, 1/4 time/speed is and just how all around this car would run. Of course, if needed we could add some..."touch-ups" to improve the times. If you need more info, I can try and figure it out, but I was looking for anything at all about this car. If anyone has any info let me know. Thanks fella's.

Looks like it's already been modified, so things about top speed, quarter mile times, etc. measured with a stock car won't hold true for this one. I have a '66 Dodge factory service manual, but it only covers the A and B bodies; I suspect there's a separate one for C bodies.

The one thing I know for sure is that it didn't leave the factory with that dual quad intake. Is it two carbs in line, or some sort of cross ram?

Yes, it does have some modifications, but I haven't even been able to find factory specs. The C bodies were a bit heavier then the others, but in total with rider it weighs about 4000.

Im not too sure about the carbs, so I'll have to check and get back to you.

I just found out today that they are in-line.
