"I personally chose the carbureted SBC route for my restomod."
Martin,
Beauty obviously is in the eye of the beerholder. I personally find the simplicity of the sbc to be the "Little black dress" of the engine world and the modern engines that literally bristle with attached gadgets to be butt ugly. I still have one last 4-bolt 350 cid sbc engine core on the standard bore, a pristine crankshaft and a pair of vortec heads gathering cobwebs in the back of the garage for a future project that I or my sons might do. Both the boys are professional engineers with very demanding careers right now so that engine core will probably sit there for a long while. All the critical surfaces are covered with grease so there won't be any rust damage.
