273 time to 'fish or cut bait'...

Here is the situation as I see it. You are running 1965ish technology so breakdowns happen it part of the hobby. Running mis matched stuff will add to to your head aches unless it was designed for it. Not sure of the intake delema but as long as the gaskets seal and the ports dont leak vacuums you should be good.
As for any discount house such as the Internet place you claim is a new best friend, they are not bad but you (sounds like my mom here) can do better. If a product is less than 1/2 cost.... makes you wonder about "why?"
Good luck and keep us posted. These cars are easy with simple mechanical experience. Just take your time and do your research. Here is a picture of the 66 fish I'm building now. Build a plan for the finished product before you start otherwise the project is 20 times harder. Don't magazine build the drive train, figure out what you want and how to achieve that goal. 4.56 gears will beat the bow ties but won't do 80mph all day unless you have a good overdrive transmission set up. Stay focused and positive. There are plenty of people
on this board that can help and plenty will give you opinions only.
Good luck,
Joe
