Stock 360 Upgrades for Crusher Cuda?

In previous posts mention is made of running a single plane intake, perhaps a 750 carb, stock converter ?, no shift kit, headers or maybe stock exhaust manifolds, but really nothing definitive. So now that you are looking at cams, what have you decided on regarding all the above mentioned parts. Forget about single planes, stock exhaust manifolds or stock converters. Get an Edelbrock AG, or find an old Weiand Action + (or other well regarded vintage DP if money allows) get a Turbo Action 10” 3500 tight converter, add a Transgo TF2 shift kit, and get the best headers you can afford. Then you can work on getting the thing to hook at the strip and easily lay down the times you’re seeking.
Parts seem to be very hard to find right now. I agree it needs a shift kit, but I am not going to open the trans yet. Maybe next year. Just trying to get a base line this year, and upgrade in the future. So the trans will remain stock for know. Just getting the foundation laid. Thanks for the suggestions.
