Are you sure all the 350 needs is rings? Might want to consider a more complete rebuild kit with oversize pistons and have the block bored to accept them. If the 350 has dished pistons now, this would be an excellent idea in order to get flat-tops.
Does this - "TPI system including entire harness, injectors, all sensors, etc " - include the ECM? Frame-to-engine fuel hoses? Regulator? (adjustable would be nice to have for tuning purposes)
A bunch of different mounts have been used in different models, so make sure you have 3rd gen parts on both the frame and engine. Have fun with the frame half (getting to the mount nuts inside the crossmember). Front springs should be changed to V8 type, consider a spring compressor and drop the a-arms to change the springs and frame motor mounts at the same time.
What cam are you using? Make sure its powerband matches the TPI, or get aftermarket runners for the TPI to match the cam. Porting the TPI plenum and base a good idea to get flow up.
Don't stop at the y-pipe. You need TPI cat & cat-back as well.
You'll need V8 brackets for the alternator & PS pump, if you don't have them already. How about radiator hoses, belts? Radiator? (you need a larger V8 rad)
Some PROM work may be required before you're all done.
At least now you have an opinion based on a quick look (after 11 days).
