need advice on a 91 z28

Well here's what I have 91 Z28 350tpi.

The car has been in my garage for 10 years and not moved. It's gonna move this year!! I've bought some parts to start and I was just looking for some general advice. I've purchased an edlebrock cam, some stock aluminum heads from a 91 zr1 (being ported, polished and built now) and some edlebrock headers. I'm gonna be working in my garage, I'm used to brakes, front end and light maintenance but this is territory I've never dove into. I'm starting the tear down on Sat so any advice would be appreciated.

Car: '91 Z28 & '90 RS Vert & '89 RS

my advice is to sell the car to me and I will put the parts on and enjoy it

What questions do you have, or more specifically, what do you want advise on. sounds like you've accumulated some nice parts. now u just have to put them on. get a nice torque wrench, lots of assembly lube, be sure to use new lifters and push rods when installing the cam and heads, buy quality gaskets, check the oil in the pan to make sure it has not clogged your oil pump after 10 years of sitting, put a new timing chain on while you're at it, flush out your gas tank and lines because it's probably all varnish now anyways, charge your battery, get new antifreeze, put in a new thermostat, check hoses and belts, get some new wiper blades, and fill up the washer fluid......
