I think blkrain has the right idea. Especially with the cam. More cubic inches will make your car a little more tolerant of camming than your run of the mill 5.0L. If you're going for a street car, I'd suggest a slightly smaller intake, as high RPM pieces (esp. box type uppers) can and usually do kill the low rpm torque that makes street driving fun. Of course, with those the car would scream up top. Sounds like a great idea to me. I'm planning out my own swap soon too. Either a 331, a 347, or a 317 long rod kit. Haven't quite decided yet.
