1. can I do this with the block still in the car?
2. what size cam would be optimum?
3. what ratio roller rockers should I use?
4. best head gaskets?

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

1. Yes
2. Optimum would be a custom grind. No telling what they would come up with.
3. 1.6
4. Cometic head gaskets are what most guys end up going to with Boost or Nitrous. You would want to run ARP head studs for this application.
