Default new guy with 69 nova

My names Jeff. I picked up a 69 nova with a weak 307 in it a few weeks ago. And been on the hunt for ideas on what to do with the build. I want a pro street look, mini tubbed bagged and all. I'm picking up a 6.0 and 4l80e out of a GMC savanna work van this week. The guy who's parting it out said I can have whatever components off it I want. I'm still new to the swapping process. What exactly do I need to take, and what will actually work for me on the swap. Ill post up some picks of the car and engine later this week when I pick it up.
Thanks

Welcome to a fellow X-body owner.

Check out our conversions section for further info on swap accessories. I would offer advice, but I am not familiar with the swap process as I plan to stick with the old SBC for mine. However, we have other Nova guys here who could certainly be helpful.
