Converter is too small. Go 3400rpm or more. Also autos do not dyno as high especially with a converter and with out long tub headers so you will prolly not make you goal but will run with 6spds of that power level. I do not know anything about the springs you have selected what is the lift rated at for them? Also what's lift of cam?

Don't buy pushrods yet either, get a PR checker and check length after everything is installed..

Buy PR's last

If you do heads and go with more cam you should be able to get there, cam only will have to be a max-effort cam with everything else optimized!! As for the converter I'd go with at least a 4000 stall and for gears either 3.73s or 4.10s on a 26" tire! Just my 2cents, GLWTB Larry.

+1 on the converter. I ran 3500 stall on a daily driver without any issues.
Don't forget that you can run more compression with a lot of overlap. Need to check dynamic compression.
