Not everyone has endless amounts of $$$...

Larger injectors are not mandatory for a 503. You'll be fine with reusing the stock ones.

assuming you got a cai,headers, exhaust, and stall. I would get new timing chain, lifters, spring, and harden pushrods. Also your gona need a mail order tune atleast.

The only thing you NEED is springs and the necessary hardware for them.
You'll also probably want to do a timing set too.

Everything else is recommended and usual upgrades done while in there.

A cam that size would definitely need a stall of some kind, or you will hate driving it.. I would at least get some roller rockers,push rods, and valve springs..
