.40 over 170 rebuild

Hey Charlie, I've got the old tired 170 out of my '64 that I've been wanting to dig into. I'd like to do a fun street motor that could be driven on a regular basis, but still be a hotrod power plant.

I've collected a new Clifford HyperPak intake manifold, a pair of Clifford shorty headers and a new Holley 390 carb, and really need some direction on what to do about the rest.

What would be a good recipe, top to bottom, utilizing the parts I already have?
