Nice engine, thanks for sharing !  :)

Agree with Mike, those screws/springs would most likely be something from a previous owner.
Tom Jensen would definitely have shortened those screws, as there´s no gain by having the engine throwing away power, by wobbling around on that pedestal.

As far as the snowman whistlehandle goes, one would need a very well documented one owner engine, to ensure that it isn´t a later addition. Whistles ans SVs does get replaced...or mixed up.
Should it be the case, that it has been on there from the factory, the engine is a tad later than estimated, and can´t be any older than the very late 60´s.
Cheers
Jan
