Why not just aim for a used for your "Big Block" conversion?

Would save you quite a few bucks for parts  ;)

I just stubled on this, which doesn´t look bad to me:

Furthermore has the advantage of being old enough, to have a "real" steamvalve on there.
That solder job just above the throttle looks very suspect to me....doesn't look factory done.
