Shopping list.....thoughts?
Well, I need to order the some items to finish my build up. 
Reference : 383 short block assembled w/balancer and flexplate, HR cam 227/234, TFS heads, Performer 1405 Carb, 1.5 RR, gaskets, etc.
Needed items and suggestions on the following items...................
Headers (w/ Alt and A/C brackets):
Dynomax ceramic
Water pump:
?
Intake:
Performer
Performer EPS
(I just don't think I can get the RPM to fit.)
Air Cleaner:
Something with 1 1/4" drop base
Torque converter:
B&M 2000
Fuel Pump:
?
Odds and ends:
Intake manifold bolts
Header Bolts
Fuel line
Carb studs
If anyone has any suggestions or something I'm forgetting that would be very helpful.

Hoses and clamps.
I used Aeroquip fittings and hose for my upper fuel line.
Summit has carb stud kits. Bolts work fine, too.
I got some 12-point stainless intake bolts from ARP, through Summit. Real nice.
I went with Stage 8 stainless locking header bolts, again from Summit. Pricy, but hopefully worth it.
Still building. Hope to finish this weekend.
Race ya!
