The engine you posted is a good one but your 305 intake will not fit on it. It has the newer vortec bolt pattern.
So check this delux crate, 5000$. Doesn’t this seem a bit over price for what’s its worth? You can get the base turnkey with water pump for 2,500 and add your alternator, a/c, fuel pump, power steering pump, and flex plate for wayyy less than the 2500 additional cost. Only way I can justify this is that it is alread ready and a convenience factor.
