Check out the stickys. Theres a lot of info you need there. Read the tips and tricks here and in the Bullnose section. All the info is here, you just have to look for it.
I'm in the process of doing some similar mods to my truck. Offy C with Autolite 2100, EFI manifolds and Walker Y pipe. I got side tracked once I pulled the old stock manifolds. The block was greasy, so I cleaned it, and now I'm trying to get a little paint back on it before a put everything on. I picked up studs to replace the old bolts, Mr. Gasket #260 gasket as well as fabbed up a hot water heat plate so the motor will run right. I'm also planning to run a 130 amp alt off a Taurus, so I can run an elec fan and inverter.

I actually took some this weekend, have to figure out how to post them. I fabricated a bracket for the stock throttle cable, it's not perfect, but I think it will work. I used the heat plate bolts to bolt it to the intake. My carb has a cable choke, so I'm just going to mount a chock cable under or in the dash, and run it through the firewall. PM me your email, and I'll send you pics of what I've done so far.
