Tom is right. In order to get some real power out of that engine you are not going to be able to simply bolt on some aftermarket mods, you are going to have to gut the whole block. What I suggest, and what i am currently in the process of, is taking a 302 block and stroking it out to 347 cubes. that will allow you to see the full potential of that engine, and with those other parts you have, it would make a powerful combination. but if you're just looking for a reliable daily driver, i would not recommend it. hope this helps.
