How bad is the quarters good ones are hard to find but possible. I made me own by shaping them with what metal was left witch was a lot just rust holes every few inches check out my build thread for help full tips if you don't know how already.

Depends on what you want to do. I'm not a fan of the original 4GC Rochester, so this is one time I'd recommend an Ebrock carb. 650 is on the small side for this engine - 750 would be better. If you don't want the stock intake, a Performer 455 is your best street bet, again depending on where you want to go with the car.
