it's built for speed not longevity, woman
WAYYY yo vague. what are you wanting to see out of your motor? have are you gonna be driving it? there are millions of parts you could throw at it, are looking at the parts you listed and a basic rebuild? narrow it down for us.
Just don't go out buying random parts....pick and match parts together for the best results.
Example....don't expect to run a .600 lift cam with a Cobra intake and get the best results...(not that you could on stock pistons anyways).

A buddy of mine built a 347 with an X303 cam and GT40P heads....put it all together himself and had it tuned, it put down 300hp....he only had $1400 into the entire build including the stroker kit....you just have to shop around for good used parts and build it yourself.
yea like i said i already have the gt-40 heads, ceramic coated headers, and some bigger injectors..and plan on getting a few more things..but im not sure if i had down everything i should try and get..and yes im building it myself, i stripped it down today as a matter of fact
What I was trying to say is that there's a lot more to rebuilding an engine than the parts you mentioned. I wouldn't consider an H/C/I swap as a rebuild. Rebuild normally means main bearings, connecting rods, pistons/piston rings, boring the block, etc. etc. There are a lot of parts to buy and a lot of things to consider when rebuilding - you need to be more specific about your plans and people can help you better.
