the aluminum head / intake mark your spare 300 as a 1964. the aluminum parts were only available for the first year of 300ci production and no other Buick small block variant shares this deck height, the 215ci is shorter and the 340 / 350 are taller.
aluminum Buick 215 / Rover 3.5L to 4.6L heads can put on the 300ci block but if you attempt to use a Rover / 215 intake you're going to need to fab up spacer plates.
so your intake is a one year only piece.
I'm thinking about to switch the ignition from points to magnetic of hall effect.
an HEI distributor from a mid-70s and up Buick 350 will drop into the timing cover, although there may be interference issues that you'll need to work around.
i would guess there would be something available from mid-70s to 80s Rover v8s, but i have no idea what they were doing back then.
timing covers from Rovers, Buick v6s, etc will swap onto the block and, depending on the specific cover, will clock the oil filter in different directions. if you've got tight clearances on the oil filter with the current installation you might want to look into that.

Land Rover guys love to use the 300ci crankshaft for stroking projects so don't throw that spare away.
