In addition to what Mike posted, the heads are likely original to the engine.

The 333882 heads were used on 350's from 70-80. They're typical 70's smog heads, with a 76 cc combustion chamber, and 1.94 intake valves. The 882 heads were used on 73-77 Corvette 350's, as well as many other Chevrolets.

The 14007378 intake manifold is from a 79 Corvette, L-82.

V8 blocks for old Chev II had special mods, like for the clutch linkage and the oil pan is different to clear steering linkage.
