Not “affordable” really, especially if is merely an aesthetic upgrade… however you could piece together the setup for less.

On my Impala (6.0L lq9 swap) I have the coil relocation kit and OG tin Chevy valve covers for a retro-meets-modern look.

I paid an arm and a leg for those billet valve cover adapters, but now they're out there for nearly a 3rd of the price. I'd bet you could recreate the Delmo kit for far less with a little digging.
The intake. Throttle body. Fuel rails. Coil relocation. Accessory drive. Exhaust. Trans. It adds up quickly.

I have ZERO interest installing one as they come. I just don't care for the visual. I like them fine under the hood of a Tahoe; just not my old school ride.

The benefits of the modernization, but with the old school visual like gringoloco's truck isn't cheap.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
