Well, he finally found another Rochester and has it working for now.  
Planning on running it throught the Winter as is, then rebuilding it in the 
Spring...so, if you know somebody wanting to sell that 390 and manifold at a 
good price he should be interested.  Think he said a new manifold was around 
$140.00 and the Holley was $300.00 at one of the local shops.
