I've done the conversion also. Some little tips and tricks here and there, PM me if you need help.

This sports a Hughes 1418ALN 520/544 lift, 214/218 @ .050 with a 108 LSA.

I run Hughes 1110 springs with Hughes retainers (1278 I think) on RHS iron heads. I couldn't justifty Edelbrock alum heads for the price (these cost me less than half of the price of the Edelbrocks).

From the top down, it's running a Holley 4160 650cfm, an Edelbrock Air Gap intake, RHS heads, a Hughes cam which I've previously mentioned, Speedpro pistons and rings, stock rods and crank, a Melling oil pump, and MP LA oil pan.
