friend of my father has a old winston cup, bowtie motor complete he wants under two grand for everything the only thing he wants is the carb, which i dont need.

Off-topic: how much power do those ZZ4's make? My Auto Tech instructor has one in his 99 Suburban. Nice Chevelle! A buddy of mine had a 66 Malibu that was close to the same color.
