Default Help on sbc top end build

Was wondering what any of you could stir up for me, i got a 69 camaro with a basically stock 355 with 10.1 compression. i have around $3500 to spend on it. So what would be the best bang for the buck?

A good carb and intake go a long way 6d9 pointed out. Consider a good 2.5" exhaust as well.
