Good luck with the project. Any grease monkey worth his salt should be able to work on the 327. My 350/383 has a holley 4 barrel but will be getting a fuel injection of some flavor for the reliability. I think I have rebuilt my last 4 barrel carb. Many of people now days can't drive a stick...
Your first picture with the two mounting holes and the flange with numbers I have on my passenger side.
I show the adapter ---
The wires go off on the driver's side.
I hope this helps. Maybe mine is messed up. Second opinions are welcome.

I would have thought you would have made an effort to repair locker (the gears you took out). You were much more graceful than I could have been.

Is there a reason you are going to Nashville? From I-40 (just outside of Memphis) I have taken I-55 to I-57 to I-70 to Indianapolis then north. Have a good trip.

My 2 cents, I am guessing Madmudman has a 350 available at a reasonable cost. I have a Gen 1 SBC and if anything breaks internally I would not think twice of going to a LSx engine. The N key is next to the B key on my keyboard so I am guessing he was in a hurry and hit the wrong key. Nice...
My semi educated thoughts, would it be possible to find replacement parts from a similar engine in a junk yard? Did you have the fuel pressure and flow high enough? I was wondering if the repair of the current system might be easier, cheaper and quicker than an engine swap.

I would expect you to see 150k or more. A moderate engine like you are thinking about would be a good choice in my not so humble opinion.
