Sounds like your on the right track. I personally would have preferred a 428 cobra jet to the 351. they are more reliable and produce enough power to pin you to the back of the seat. One thing that you cannot forget is the proper brakes. Most guys will rod out a car's engine without thinking how they are going to stop. Good Luck

well most n.o.s. kits only run from round 300-800ish$ and
to fill it up, depending on the size of the tank, goes for 10-30$.
