Have fun with the motor swap (I did)! Maybe I can stop and check it out next time I go through Sacramento.

IMO if you want to make it more retro, you should paint the block orange, even the timing cover (unless you add other chrome to the engine). It will look more stock with the retro Coca-Cola theme. Even with the Edelbrock top, mine looks very stock just orange and black. I also used my original valve covers for the look.
