I want to put a top hat efi on it....I think that looks way too kool, but I'm concerned about an air filter. Don't want it to look like a mud racer. I think I need to talk to someone about the whole package, I have some ideas but I don't know what parts are available. Without knowledge, It would wind up old school. There's nothing wrong with that but it would be nice to have some better handling suspention and fuel injection for realibility. My problem is I have a starting point but dont know where to go from that. 8:1 compression was mentioned and a small roller cam, which is a good start. What about a stroker kit vs. just a stock crank? What is the advantages and dis advantages of carbs vs. EFI? What kind of oiling system? etc.... 
Oiling system you want is an external one that connects through the outside of the pan. Depending on the length of the pan, you might want a swinging pick-up, or for a shorter sump section, static pick-up. There are many different pumps that can be used. The feared failure on them is the gasket blows out and puts oil under the tires. Some of the newer pumps address this with and o-ring seal system call and ask when purchasing.
As far as EFI goes, the older classic FAST/BDS system will more than do the job and should run a little less $$ than two custom carbs. I suggest looking on RJ some more for a used classic batch fire system. The classic ones are plenty capable of running your set-up as long as the injectors are 60lb/hr or bigger. I run 83lb/hr. The Map is changeable and configurable for blown applications. Fuel pump will be at least one Aeromotive A1000, maybe two. I can send you the full fuel system diagram for what you need if you go efi. Check out my link below to my Cuda...
As far as stroker kits, there are many good ones out there. I called Ray Barton for most of mine which is 4.15" crank and +.060" pistons. The bigger the better in my mind until you run out of blower. We put a 10-71 on my buddies 474 hemi and it was just sick fast on pump gas. We didn't even change the pulley's from what we had with the 8-71 on it.
