Mike Hotrod46,
You have given me solid advice in the past but the car is already at the shop. I finally decided on my own not to go the high dollar route, go for the short block with the 400 crank and an RV cam, use my alumimun heads that only have 5000 miles, my 600 CFM vacuum secondary Edelbrock carb with 2000 miles, and solid state Mallory distributor with vacuum advance with 2500 miles. As you can see, a lot of recent parts to make that engine more street friendly will be reused. BTW the above changes plus taller radial rear tires changed my cruise milage from 13 mpg to 23 mpg, didn't change the high end and helped the low end.
