trelly, no need to be mad when looking for help. Yes this can be frustrating at times but at the end of the road it is something that you can pat your self in the back.
For the intake you can make one your self with 4" tube.

For the oil pan I assume the GM Muscle could work?

Also some search on this site gave me this.

If I was to do it again, I would get an f-body pan and cut the crossmember. That muscle car pan does hang about an 1.5" below and that's after I raised the motor.
