If your fathers block is a 90 it will use a one piece seal crank it will require at least another flywheel not sure about the balancer. you can use an adapter use the older two piece seal crank.
Solid cam/lifters will be around $190.00 better then a hydrauilic flat tappit, hydraulic roller would be better when things are kept at lower street rpms. you will have to make up your mind if the extra cost is worth it to you.
Keep in mind with a 3.75 stroke you will most likely need a small base circle cam factory roller cam engines never had this long of stroke, may not be ground on a small base circle.

Well thanks everyone! I will probably decide the camshaft a little later. I am still a little undecided but have enough information to make an educated decision (instead of guessing, lol). I am going to my dad's to find a block soon, hopefully. The forged assembly will be on the way. I will be posting back when I get the block all ready and start the bottom end,
