When it comes to rebuilding an engine, I'm at a total loss

OK, a buddy at work has a complete 283 from an old Vette and he says that I can put either 305 or 350 heads on it and do some stuff internally to it, to produce 300 or a little more? Can someone tell me exactly what parts to buy and what heads to go with? I will be building this engine over the next few years and a nice parts list would be great? Also, should I run a th350 or th400 tranny with it?
