Add up the prices for new parts from Summit, and toss in $100 to $150 for either repop or vintage 'vette valve covers on evilBay and you'll be in the $1600 to $1800 range. Or you can pay almost double for the unknown of somebody's old carbs sitting on an old manifold with unknown history? Yes, we've had inflation and it's 2016 but seriously? Then again it's a very, very nice orange box.....

IMO it will be a B#*%h to start, especially in cold weather. By the time you dump in enough fuel to bring that large volume of air in the elevated tunnel ram to a F/A ratio good for ignition you stand a good chance of flooding it, and if you flood it you'd better have a strong battery and starter to be able to crank it enough to lean out the huge F/A charge that's saturated in the intake. It's for looks only, IMO.
