Looks good. The only things I would change are to get rid of the clear fuel filter and put in a metal one and if the lines going to the carb are just plain rubber, either replace them with metal or fuel injection line.

I agree with that I will pick away at it. Blew my budget replacing the engine. Sucks to get the car and on the drive home poof engine gone. But looks like crank I hope when I tear it down that the block is savable. Be nice to have orig engine ot was born with.
