I'm convinced I have the perfect set up.

Yes I did and it was noisy until I hooked up a heater fan resistor in the line. Now it's barely noticeable. The guys at work thought I was crazy at first but what I did was to gut an old voltage regulator box, drill holes in it, mount the resistor inside, mount it on the inner fender so the engine fan would blow air across it and wire into my hot wire going to the fuel pump.
I've been running it for almost a year now with no problems.

My engine compartment was pretty dirty when I took this picture, mostly pollen.

That's great! I believe it's perfect if it works well for you. Does t matter what anyon else thinks. As long as you're happy with it

Thanks for the report. Glad that combo is working out for you as I am working on something very similar and am aiming for very good drivability and low to mid power. New crate L31-R, Summit stage 1 intake, Edelbrock 500 cfm carb, stock cam, 1.52 full roller rockers, .015" thick head gaskets, and a beefed up 200-4R transmission i did myself. Hope to have it on the road this fall so time will tell.

I painted my engine Chevrolet orange as well and plan on using a black air cleaner. Picked up a mid 90's serpentine belt system. Don't know what I am going to do for valve covers but probably orange or chrome.
