86 z motor into my 89 s-10,need help

hi,
i know its not a camaro/firebird,but the motor would be coming out of my 86 z,anyways,i was wondering what kind of setup would you guys reccomend,for my motor,it is a 305,has tpi,but im going to change it to carb,also,im planning on putting in a cam,and all the induction crap,now my question is,what would you guys put on,in the motor?i mean like,i am either going to go with the xe 262,268 cam,im thinking of going with the rpm intake,or weiand stealth,reasong being,i want to swap my motor from my camaro,into my truck later on,after i get my other motor built,and would like to not have to buy another manifold,and all that.so what cam would you guys go with,and intake/carb.
the truck will more than likely stay a 5 speed,and prolly will be driven quite a bit,thanks for your time.
phil

since it's a 305 i'll guess because i've never done it or researched it that much. i'd go with a 600 something holley VS on a weiand intake with a lunati brackmaster cam in the .460 range
