Nice congrads.

OK as far as build, look for a GM 163 Dual plane intake. Any alum dual plane is a step up in performance and less weight and better thremo characteristics then the iron. Could try a Holley Sniper EFI for better drivability. Only thing I would look at is get Gaterman or Johnson hyd roller lifters, (NOT Johnson Hylift) and look for a cam your comfy with. Like comp 270H or even 280H. Headers help, but could stay with manifolds if you really want them.

A good rebuild with cam and intake swap, good valve job should put this in the 425+Hp range fairly easily.

Stick with stock specs on the engine build if you just want a driver. Get Eric to build you a stock Quadrajet carb and it’ll start n run just fine.
Maintain factory appearance under the hood and that will help on the value of the vehicle if you want to sell later. Anyone can buy JC Whitney chrome stuff and there’s a million of them out there. I don’t see many big block Elcy’s in my area. Just my take on it, enjoy n have fun with it.
