My first build, I need some help please

Things get a lot easier when you say "price is no object"!
#1 buy a scat stroker kit
#2 talk to a cam grinder - and solid lifter cams have more potential and are easy to adjust and you don't have to do it often - mostly just checking once or twice a year
#3 sell that o/d transmission and get a 4 speed - period
crap! Time to go to work. I'll ad more later or maybe someone else will have time to give better advice before I get home.
