Very tempting! I love working on Chevy motors. How soon are you planning on doing this and do you have all the parts. I hope no one talked you in to an Edelbrock carb yet. It would have to be a couple of weeks before I could get up there to help. Here is some of my motors I have helped friends with.

Yes it is. It is actually a Speed Demon but it is made by Barry Grant. Holly sued them for their first design of this carb so now they change the look a little bit. It still uses holly jets and parts for adjustment, but it is a way better carb in my opinion. A similar carb went n the orange motor too. For the extra money definately worth it.

BG carbs rock. I had one on my 67 C-10 before I sold it. Got it for a steal (altho I did NOT steal it!) (=
