Thanks everyone for all the advice. What I'm looking at now for the engine is the 408 stroker bottom end from scat with the 20.5cc dish pistons, 63cc edelbrock heads with 1.6 rockers, hughes 2832 cam, LD340 intake, long headers I have laying around, and a 750cfm holley ultra double pumper. I'll upgrade the headers and the intake to an airgap eventually. Did some digging finally. Found that my rear gears are 3.23 in the rear. Gotta double check the tire size tonight, as it stormed yesterday and I forgot to snap a pic of the wheels when the weather cleared up. But I think I've got a pretty solid plan now so thank you everyone for all the help and suggestions. Really the only above that I'm still a little iffy on is the 1.6 rockers. Using the 2832, I'd have .53/.536 lift with the 1.5s and .565/.571 lift with the 1.6s for intake/exhaust. I feel like this is worth the 1.6s, as the heads should flow up to that point, but I am not 100% sure as I've seen advice against using 1.6s in street cars. The .35 increase in lift just seems like a huge advantage, though.
One other question. If I am using am A833OD, that should allow me to run 3.55 gears in the rear without making it undriveable on the highway, right? I don't plan on driving on the highway everyday in the car but I want to be able to when I need to.
