What would you do?

I already have the build designed, and parts purchased. The cam is a mild Lunati, staying with a KB flat top, and using the performer carb and manifold combo for now. Heads will be a set of 302s that the customer supplied, with a little tickle here and there. I'm only building the engine, not the car, so it will be matched to what he has. Btw, I ALWAYS hone with a torque plate, except in the rare instance I don't have one and can't beg, borrow, or steal one. I won't buy one for a 6 cyl, or other oddball engine I get on occasion. They don't pay for themselves. My Hemi plate hasn't paid for itself yet.
