My 79 has about what you're describing: 30 over flat tops, Dart Iron Eagle 180's, CompCam XE262, Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake and Holley 670 Street Avenger. I topped off the carb with a 3"x14" drop base, offset air clearner. It is tight but just does clear the hood.

If you are really looking for that sound, Comp cams has their Nostalgia plus line
http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Cu...ML/128-169.asp
The 30-30 might be too rough, but the N+L79 would work. Adding chambered exhaust would complete the "sound"
http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...EF4W2NU8K660A1
Or you could install stock style mufflers for a quieter sound.
If you are in the market for heads, go with aluminum (AFR, Dart, Brodix)
Keep the intake volume around 200cc or less and combustion chambers at 64cc (You will have a decent compression ratio with flat tops)
I have the low flat hood on my '71. With the orig air cleaner & q-jet & an Edelbrock Performer 2101 intake - the hood slightly touches the front of the air cleaner.
You may lose a little hp with the old school cam, but it will sound good
