Nice Build! And nice garage too.
What carb are you going to go with? I wanted to do the popular 390 or 465, but they're soooo expensive. I found an elec choke 600 at a swap meet for $20...plus another $26 for a rebuild kit. I hope it'll work ok. I should have enough airflow for it, between the intake, lump ports, bigger valves, bigger cam, higher compression, and headers.
I went ahead and got the Comp 268H kit, with all the recommended parts...springs, lifters, rockers, pushrods, etc. The 1200-5200 rpm band is more appealing. Plus I want that "choppy" idle. lol
