You need some jegs heads with a torker 2 intake and a 600 or a 650 holley and some cheap jegs headers with hooker maxflow muffles with a 3 inch exhaust system. Get a hydraulic cam preferably a lunati braket master 1 cam # 00012 or # 00012lk which is the cam and lifter kit. And use some roller rockers.
If you want more low end torque go with a roller cam
Since you'll have much bigger than stock combustion chambers then stock you'll have really low compression which means you can crank the advance on the timing way up. Also add an MSD system to the car and swap the springs and bushing in the distributor to make all the advance kicks in right away.
Since you'll be throwing this thing out to 6500 rpm id suggest a rebuild with at a minimum of hyperutetic pistons if not forged since you're going all out. some high quality rods and maybe a replacement crank if yours has a lot of miles on it or is in harsh condition.
Get an electric fan kit and a fat radiator to help keep that thing running cool and your in business.
If you want to really get things started just put a whipple w305 supercharger on anything with its intercooler plate and it will make retarded power. It pumps more air than a race class BDS 1471 supercharger and has less drag and is 95% efficient. its the ultamite supercharger.
