Another option is to keep the 406 engine and just get a new 4 bbl intake and a high quality carb. However, I couldn't resist buying the authentic G-code 406 tri-power. I'm really into it. Just spent big bucks getting a set of authentic 15x5.5 cat-eye Hi-Po wheels too.

Well, the engine itself (if a true survivor and never molested) is most likely more valuable than the car itself (other than it's being a GENUINE 1962 G-CODE CAR).
If you break down the engine, the value is gone unless it is a very detailed overhaul.
This car was never meant to be a daily driver, it was meant to qualify the engine for NASCAR and only nuts (such as myself) would even consider buying one.
Now it is your car, period. You do what you want but another consideration may be selling it (have you ever had it appraised?) and buying something you can more easily modify for today's street driving or a power change if you love the car (and believe me, I fully understand that one - my green eyes are misting).
What happened to the KH 15" wheels that came on it?
