People are also running the '68 Merc 302 with the Holley carb. It seems like the most preferable combo at the moment is the '64 Ford 1.08 carb combo.

Since this is a "get my feet wet in Super Stock" type of deal,and an older build, I'm just going to run it in it's current form. I'm just trying to go through it and make certain everything is still legal. I'll have the engine apart in the next few weeks. Then I'll be able to verify everything internally is still legal. As long as it is ( or can be made legal under current rules without spending thousands of dollars), then I want to give SS a shot. Otherwise, I'm just going to bracket race it. Ether way, we'll have a lot of fun.
