D@vid: Two thoughts: First, don't order the batteries until you are ready to run it. I would cancel the order if it hasn't already been shipped. Car projects have a way of taking longer than we expect, and you don't want batteries sitting around not being used. 
Second, see other recent threads here about batteries. You don't need two batteries. Modern AGM batteries are more than sufficient to start the flat 6 engine, especially the older ones. I have a 1973 car too, and I only use one AGM battery in the right front battery box, and I'm cranking a 3.2 engine with no problem. I put it in the right box because I want to keep any corrosive battery fumes away from the fuse panel, and to help offset the weight of my ass in the left drivers seat.
