It is a newer Holley of some kind, so here are 2 pics for your evaluation.
What is it? 2 or 4 bbl?

It appears the restorer/builder took the top end (intake - carb - distributor - ACL) from a 57 292 2Vengine. The carb is the early H2300 with internal float setting.
It is a thoughtful/nice touch for drive-ability but I think he should have advertised the fuel system being as modified and not OEM. I wonder if he kept the '56 setup (if you wanted to make the car bone stock for either resale value or bragging rights)? That style 2V will only accept the later 57/ 2V/4V ACL.
This is how the engine should appear-
Regardless, the damn thing is beautiful and if I were to see it in person, somebody better have a box of facial tissue ...
