Select internals to compliment the heads (compression/cam specs).
Match a good dual plane intake & the carb to the heads/compression/cam.
Electronic ignition if it doesn't already have one.
Headers.
Trans converter (to match everything listed above as well as vehicle weight/gear ratio). For optimal results, you need to think of everything as a packaged system. Everything affects everything when spending money wisely.
One bit of info left out..... Is there something wrong w/the current short-block (knocking, excessive oil blow-by, smokes, etc....)?

Found coolant leaking from rear left head gasket. Also leaking oil from other places. Pan, front main, rear main, or maybe all of them. In process of diagnosing where leaks are coming from. Smokes when starting and found out that the valve stem seals are bad. I do not like any fluid leaks at all. Did not realize this could be a confusing situation cause I am not an engine guy.
