Talking 250 6 inline carb question

I have a 1970 ranchero with a 250 6 in it. My first thought when starting this project was to stick a 302 in it but then thought it would be unique to leave the 6 in and put some headers and a larger carb on it ( I have a 350 holly left over from the dirt car). however It seams the 250 intake is part of the head and if I stick a carb adapter on it the hood won't shut. Any Ideas on putting a larger carb on there? or ideas for hopping up (more for looks than for go). the 250?
any help or info would be appreciated

there is two round humps on each end of the intake.you can cut these out and add two more carbs.
