For the basics I would add...
Intake: Edelbrock Performer 289 (#2121) Dual Plane
Cam: Edelbrock (#2122) Dur. @ .050: 204/214 Lift: 0.448/0.472 (Summit Racing
seems to have the same spec cam kit for $50 less)
Carb: Holley (#9776) 450 CFM Model 4160
Ignition: Mallory Unilite Breakerless Ignition Conversion Kit (#502M)
Headers: Sunbeam Specialties? (don't have any specs)
That's about $800 in parts if bought new...
I would also mill the stock heads to get the compression ratio up over 9.0
to 1, if possible.
