What to do and where to start?

I want to do a 5 lug conversion, brakes, but another one is the rear taillights, as one is broken, and I would like to put the cobra taillights on it but I don't want to order them if they don't fit. The engine I've decided on is a 351W stroker, though I haven't decided on a 392 or 427 stroker. MM&FF tested them, in their "Recipes for Sucess" articles parts 1 and 2. The engine swap should be pretty straightforward. I also haven't decided on whether I want to go with FI or carbeuration. Probably carb initially, as FI will cost alot more as far as setting up the fuel system. I guess I just don't really know where I'm going with it, a sleeper is always a fun thing so all those Camaro and Firebird guys don't know what hit them until they get smoked. But then down here in Fayetteville, all of these GIs will race anything even if they know they'll get smoked. And the "Ricers", well I won't even start.... Thanks all.
