Put the Q-jet and cast intake on. Have the distributor rebuilt and if everything else is where it should be and up to the correct tune up, the car will perform good with NO complications. Don't need to change cams, heads, headers, etc. Clean it up and paint the engine to look nice. Make it a one day project. Don't need to over engineer it.

That's the great thing about cooking with a "small block chevy", every chef has their own recipe. Just make sure you don't overcook it!

I too agree.
Try the simple route. Tune it (esp the dist) and get what it will give.
If not happy, run a baseline test (say 30-60 in second gear), then try your 4 bbl swap and compare.
