Sounds like you have everything you need but you might want to rethink the carb. The Edelbrock carb is great but on a basic 350 the 600cfm will be good. I have a warmed over 350 and the 600cfm does great on mine. You also might want to get a Carter tuning kit for the size carb you get. The tuning kit from Carter is better than the one from Edelbrock with more items (rods, jets, springs) but will interchange. If you don't have emissions where you live you can get away with alot of the vacuum lines gone with this swap. I just have the brake booster, PCV, and the HEI hooked up to mine. Everything else I eliminated. On the adapter plate you are getting it should come with the bolts to hold it down.
