Edelbrock performer RPM heads: 84cc
Comp cams hydraulic flat tappet xe268h: 268/280 duration
Hedman elite headers
Some type of vacuum secondary carb (maybe around 750-850 cfm)
TKO-600 with .82 overdrive
Dennys driveshaft (wondering if i would need a 3 in or 3.5 in)
3.55 rear end with detroit truetrac differential


Assuming you're using one one of SRP 2.062" CD pistons, I like what you're planning for a true driver that you are intending.

I would consider using the std Performer intake, or the factory spreadbore intake with a spreadbore style carb. I have done this on a build very very similar to yours. You might give up a couple hp, but the daily drive characteristics are phenomenal.
