Ncass, small big block or big small block? Does it fit?
Perhaps you should get a set of .5mm ignition leads to give it a but more authenticity. Maybe big the joins between heads and block and smooth it all out?.

The torrie looks good, so has the enthusiasm kicked in?

I used to get into them. My favorite part was prepping and painting the bodies. I've still got about 6 or 8 kits which are at various stages of completion plus heaps of paint pots. I've half considered selling the lot but I dunno if anyone would be interested.

i think its the same motor a 350 but from a bigger scale car
it just fits but i have to take the pullies off the front and take the sump off to fit over the k frame, i will try and find some very thin wire or something and use my solder to melt it to the dizzy and like you said clamp it with the head once i put more detail in it, it will look sick, i like how it looks now

You can get .5mm lead on fleabag for a couple of $$, and a .5mm drill bit and your set. Realistic too.
Then spray it Chevy orange.
