Consider the Edelbrock Performer for low RPM torque. Experimenting with carb spacers can help fine tune the manifold for your car for a little more torque, depending on space under the hood.

I replaced the Performer on my 351W with a Performer RPM and regretted doing so. I am sure the engine made more horsepower, but I miss the torque and will put the Performer back on with a one inch spacer.

Hope this helps,
Russ

If you had 3.50's or higher numerically in the rear and raced the car occasionally, I'd say you could run the Perf RPM in your stick shift car...

But as things are now, I would concur with the Perf recommendation...you might experiment with a spacer for both low-end torque as well as heat isolation...

I use the RPM on the race car and am quite happy with it (mild engine) but the lack of a heat crossover and the port volume lends itself to more of a strip/strip application vs daily driving...

My buddy went from a performer to a weiand X-CLERator on his 351C/T5. He said he didn't lose any low end and gained a lot of top end HP. He had the same worries you do and is very happy woth the swap.
