So after swapping the intake manifold and getting a carb from jtrux, I started to clean up the valve covers and a couple of brackets. Unfortunately, the old motor had no compression in #1 and #3 cylinders. I didn't even bother checking the rest. So the search for the right engine started. Rebuild, buy new, or used were all explored. 1st thing first though, gotta get the old one out.
