Can you look up the other parts that hold the lifters, the cam plate ?

he will need a pilot bushing, wonder if the same pilot bushings fit in the one piece seal cranks that the early cranks used ?

Maybe something like a spec clutch will come with all of it down to the throwout bearing and pilot bushing.

C3Paul are you going to measure the pushrod length.

Those 180 cc RHS heads are going to hold that cam back. Look at something around 195 cc or so. Cheaper isn't always better.

I have to work with what I have.
At the end of the day, if I go with bigger heads I will gain more power and rev higher.

With my current combo I am looking 400HP/400Tq and this is all I want!!

I would not build an externally balanced motor!

Your existing Damper will not work with your choice of crank and flywheel

No clutch picked yet? Go CenterForce DF. Used the same clutch twice on two different motors, and I love it. Especially for anything sub 550hp.
ARP Balancer bolt recommended as well.
