I think sticking with the stock set up would be better especially since it’s a complete restoration. Though I have to say the wiper motor you pictured is something I never thought of or seen before. Something new I learned.

When my engine guy had my engine on the dyno, they both commented about how well my carb was tuned. I had this this carb on my old engine. I was just wondering because I bought this Edelbrock for $200 new in the box. I could buy a Fitech system that he has for 1/2 of new.
That $2500 eBay block is worth about $100 or so more than any other 440 block. There are plenty of good core blocks out there on Marketplace and Craigslist for 1/5th of that price.
