I've got all my parts on order to finish the swap.
My initial plan was to go as cheap as possible but that has changed. I want to be confident that the motor I'm going to install is going to run well.
I bought the small valve Enginequest heads with the LA bolt pattern. For now I'm going to run my Performer intake and 600 carb
I ordered a Howards long snout roller cam. I wanted good idle and vacuum. I also don't think I will upgrade my torque converter. They recommended 209/217 @50 with 496 lift on 1.6 rockers, 112 LSA.
I have new lifters, balancer, oil pump, oil pump pick up tube and double roller timing chain on order as well.
I found a machine shop who is going to go through the bottom end and install the cam and heads that I'm providing.
Hopefully I should have everything back together in the next couple of weeks. I'll post pictures as I go. Thanks for everyone's help!
