You can pick up a MSD Streetfire HEI for just over $100. They are very nice for a mild street build. I used one in my black 64 with great results. As for the fuel pump you can swap over to mechanical. Holley has some really nice mechanicals for $50-$90 that would be more then enough for the motor you are tlaking about. A few of them dont even require regulators. You can get a tubing bender and flare tool at your local parts suppler and just modify your existing fuel line.

As for wiring the HEI you need one wire that is hot when the key is on and not when it's off. Really simple conversion.

Hope it all works out for ya and feel free to ask more questions you need answered.
