Just as a start, gaskets might be a good thing and some fluids would help. You are missing quite a bit.

that's not a forged bottom end, that's a cast crank, forged SIR rods, and hyperpistons. that kit will have close to stock compression. I'd opt for a rotating assembly with around -5cc flat top pistons for a 12:1~ SCR you'll want all the compression you can get if you intend to hit your goal.

as far as the cam kit I'd go with a custom LE and piece everything else together, not sure what all is included in the kit. like in the previous part, you'll want to go custom or atleast bigger to hit your goal, def help to go custom though if you go higher compression. a 383 will eat the cam you posted for breakfast

what heads are you going with? this will be a big factor in your goals

as for the pushrods I'd wait until you have the motor all pieced together and measure for proper pushrod length, might have to mill the heads, deck the block, etc.

I can't click on the link for the stall but if it's $239 I imagine it's some garbage B&M holeshot, don't waste your money. if you want a decent cheap convertor look into PTC or Edge convertors.

oh and don't waste money on royal purple, waay overhyped in my opinion
