I agree completely. I wanted the looks of the 283/327 so I simply engineered a hidden smog valve installation so I could run the intake manifold with an oil fill pipe and closed valve covers. To further the effect the engine should run an early distributor and a short water pump.
Here's a link to how it was done should anybody want to modify a 350 to look older:
