Thermo-QUAD!

Was parusing the local "Git-UR-Parts" a couple weeks back when I noticed a VERY clean '73 Dodge D-150 "Grandpa's truck." Fresh arrival, was quite complete :wav: . Somebody took the air cleaner and kick down, but the MINT thermo-quad on the j-headed 360(1972 casting)...the odo reads 76,334 and the drivers side is wiped out. I believe (as well as the other Mopar yard rats who have seen this rig) the mileage to be original, and I yanked it along with the hard line ($21.34 w/tax). Now I have a set of done swirl port 360 heads, a resto 340 cam, a Performer RPM intake (Craigslist $80 find), and a set of aluma coated headers. I have begun to consider pulling the drivetrain, doing a head/cam/timing gear change, installing the intake and cam, and setting this combo in my '69 Valiant V100 2-dr w/ a 3.55 SG 8 3/4. Any thoughts on this combo and especially the carb? Thermo-quads are either loved or loathed, I just think that the risk was worth $21.34...I either get a parts carb for swapping to another Mopar guy or an inexpensive 4bbl for a decent 360...
