Prospective Engine Build

[Steve Mac]

First off, I just want to say that I've been browsing this site for a while, and it's one of the best on the internet.

I'm starting to put together ideas/money for a big project somewhat similar to Chris McDonald's 69 Vette. This project will be no expense spared, as I will be building my ultimate dream car. With that said, I'm 18 years old and in college, so this is going to be a long term thing.

I plan to use the car primarily as a street vehicle - sort of a grand-tourer that is great on the highway, a C6 killer everywhere else. The engine is going to be a torque-monster with a very flat curve. I'm starting to put together some prospective plans, but being (as of now) an Olds guy, I'm not up-to-date on BBC. Here's what I have so far.

454 or variant
Procharger D-1SC
Roller Cam(possibly 215-228 duration)
About 9-9.5 static CR
Aluminum Cylinder Heads
Holley Double Pumper
Hooker Sidepipes

Backed-up with a TKO600.

I know its a real thing skeleton-plan, but I've only just started thinking seriously about and plan to have at least another year before I start to put everything together. If you guys could give me any advice/recommendations (price/part compatability/manufacturers etc), I'm pretty much open to everything at this point.
