The above websites are good & I'd suggest you contact Don Garlit's Drag Racing Museum in Ocala, Fla. along with NHRA's museum. It sounds like you want to build a Logghe Chassis'd car which was a bit wider, used Koni shocks, ladder bars (24-32in length), perhaps a "twin port" Hilborn injection set-up, perhaps a Torqueflite trans (though they were disappearing about that time), single plug Hemi heads , though there were a few other brand F/Cs, a relatively small injector pump. *-71s were used back then so that's not a problem.
There's still alot of the old guys around to get tech advice from & nostalgia F/C has its own rules to give you a hand with it. You could always build a BB/FC, which was an injected car (simpler & less money) to learn the ins-&-outs of these things.
