Looking great!
I had an old post with pics of my old RAIV repop intake and contrary to what had been posted by a few, the port alignment was decent and overall quality was nice. Certainly wasn't any worse than the OEM cast iron piece I took off. That was 4-5 years ago and have been driving it daily since with no complaints. Glad to see your recent purchase of that intake sounds as though it's still the same quality as mine was.
I think that 13" continental will work fine. That 230@ .050 cam spread way out on a 114 will idle baby smooth in a 464 and make plenty of grunt, not much converter needed. Should be a sleeper of an engine.
