That motor is a spare motor, in addition to the almost original 302 with the original intake, jackshaft, all the pulleys etc. I am still trying to get the original 1968 block which is here in town somewhere.

That spare motor in the pic, will probably go in first, because of course it looks like the Corgi motor.

For the techies: It is a 2001 302 roller, with a 347 kit, 5.4 rods, 10.1:1 with ported GT40 heads. The cam is custom ground for use with webers, Basically a Comp Cams Weber grind, with more lift (575) and 112 lobe centers instead of 115.

The 48 IDA Webers are complicated, and I will post pics. Unfortunately, every manifold I could find required the carbs to be turned around so the fuel inlets and accel pumps were towards the inside, to clear the new jackshaft. The carbs were rotated with adapter plates and extra gaskets.
The jackshaft is tricky, using high speed flange bearings on lasercut mounts, and the aluminum pulleys are all new (in order to keep the all stock motor in one piece). The shaft itself is commercial, and uses a 5/8 ID Chevy power steering pulley in front, and a two groove Windsor water pump pulley which is also 5/8 bore. One inch shaft with 5/8 mounting.

I will post some more detailed motor pics later, I just finished the doors, with every single bolt, plate, screw and fitting rechromed or polished.
