Little block and accessory clean and paint. Get rid of the ugly (IMO) ball milled valve covers and put some vintage aluminum finned covers, and you are off to the races.

Yeah that carb may be too much but I won't know until I start it today I'll pull it apart just to know for sure what they did to it , I'm already thinking of using the cowl intake plenum I have going to this spectre air intake carb plenum , I've been collecting all the pieces to use it on my tri power 292 but it might look cool mounted to this small block ? I did some digging and the Edlebrock C3-BX aluminum intake is old school 70's before the Performer intakes came along ,From what I've read they work really good and a lot of the C2 vette guys like them ?
