Rochester 4bbl Quadra-Jet Carb (this has been replaced with an Edelbrock Carb)
Built-in November 1968
This all matches what is on the truck, and I'm the third owner (the second owner was the son of the first owner) so based on what I was told and can verify everything, for the most part, is original.

That's super cool, and likely all the original stuff. The problem is that getting someone to pay extra for it is difficult because technically it could be a different 350 than the original or a different Munchie 4 speed.
Hence why true numbers matching was a big deal, because the VIN on the car matched the VIN stamp on the engine.
You can't go wrong with any direction you choose honestly. Do what you think you'll enjoy working on and driving the most. People who worry about the value are the same that keep their cars locked up in a garage and rarely enjoy them
