Yea, take that motor and pull the intake and oil pan off and slap yours on it along with everything else your car has that that doesn't to make it run. Keep in mind though your dyno numbers would be lower than what they advertise simply because a carbed setup over a EFI puts out more power with the same package.

That engine isn't built until they get your money. You can order it any way you want with any oil pan you want and with or without intake. Call them and they will tailor your build around your car.
