Yep these are the hipo 346 heads ! I have actually been considering using some of those other components you mention that are available to me [/quote]

Thought so...the markings on the heads have always helped me. It sounds like you're right on track. This is probably too detailed, but if you can find any of the goofy old metal cal custom type plug wire looms, and maybe the T handle valve cover bolts they would look right at home. having looked at alot of working mans/budget hod rods when I was a kid, this is the kind of stuff they usually seemed to have.
