sounds nice.... i'd run it the way it is, for kicks and to see your progress each change

1. get rid of points, install MSD with mopar electronic distrib (junkyard)

2. for sure, get rid of 2.76 that is a pig gear, 3.55 if you go the track once in a while, 3.91+ if you go a lot

3. port the head, you can just be careful around the seats and you'll probably need a 'touch up' (it's very hard to do the bowls and not nick a seat)

4. converter

5. degree the cam in if possible

Sounds like a good basic setup, see Thropars post-- good tips.

As far as carb orientation goes, you are going to have some trouble getting your kickdown to work with headers. I suggest simply running a Lokar kickdown cable. This way you can mount the car with the primaries parallel to the engine (90 degrees clockwise from the V-8 orientation) which helps get a little bit better fuel distribution.

Also, if you still have the little 9 inch drum brakes all around, I woudl keep a close eye on brake condition and adjustment.

Carefully map your spark advance curve too. You should have no more than 30 deg (maybe more like 26-29) total advance (w/mechanical only). This can cost you up to a full second if it's too far advanced. That carb is on the big side too, so you'll have to do some tuning.
