The fast 102 intake would be great, but the 102tb is too much. In reality, a 90-92mm tb is all most people will ever need.

Prc makes nice heads, I bought the aftermarket ls3s for my 408.
It really depends on your budget though and what you want, some AFR or trick flow heads would be really nice.

If you plan to spray it this year, save your money for a possible rebuild, all you would likely need to make it plenty strong is forged pistons, possibly lifters, rod bolts, oil pump, bearings and timing chain. That would make it very reliable.

Any project I have ever done, I leave 30% for what ever the new power breaks. If I figure I need $10k, I will make $13k my budget. Every time I needed it. Drive shaft, clutch, differential, bigger injectors, fuel pump. All of those were, add ons to projects with in a month of completion.
