Blueprint crate 408 long block- combos?

So, I pulled the trigger last week and ordered the Blueprint BPC4083CT after I discovered issues with the 340 block I was going to have built. The lack of a Mopar engine builder in my area and the warranty were deciding factors in the crate choice that was never my intention. I assume some folks here are likely running this engine, so I'd like some feedback on how you set yours up. I have the top parts of and Edelbrock Torker II intake from the 70's and an 750 cfm carter style Edelbrock #1407 and a "strip kit" for fine tuning. I have the old distributor that was converted to electronic back in the late 70's that I'm on the fence about reusing. I'd like to know what other people are running on the same part # engine, especially the mechanical fuel pump and distributor. My tight budget dictates that I will reuse what I can, but I'm not so stupid that I'm going to bolt on water and fuel pumps that could be 40+ years old. If anybody is running this engine, can you please reply with how you finished it off, what didn't work well, and any component that you think is a "must have".
