so now i need help picking a cam , torque converter ,carb, and headers

Call Lem Evans for your cam, he can pretty much hit it on the head for you. D&D makes some good headders but since you already have the tublar k-member, dynatech just released 2 1/8 headders to clear C6 trans with deep pans. They work with AJE and UPR k-members. Converter I would say call PTC after you get a cam set up. I got a 10" SS converter for $425 and I has all the good stuff and it stalls just like it's designed for. They get in dept with all your stuff, having the car weight will help or pretty close. It is a real good converter, they also have all different sizes as well. Carb I would say a good 1150 or 1250 dominator but mabe someone else might pin point it for you. Lem will be able to tell you what is best for your setup as far as a carb.

thanks . will also be useing a motor plate. iam trying to figure out a starting place on parts . from the people that have did this before . it will be a street/strip car . the lifters will be replace yearly. and get rebuilt and used the next year.i woud like to make 700hp at the wheels if i can and still make it live on the stret

How many rpm's?

will try to keep it under 7000 rpm. it will have 10.2-1 comp

"700hp at the wheels" may be a little bit optomistic with a 10.2:1 engine IMO

The heads must be ported to the intake as it has slightly different location ports already.

the heads are ported to the intake .

Kenny Ford at PTC on converter.

i did'nt care for the set on another guys car.the rockers would not clear the springs and were replaced with crane,no problems.you get what you pay for,most of the time.
