84 Trans am 350 build thread....

okay... so i have just gotten the biggest steal of all. An 84 trans am with t-tops, a new 350 bored .003 over along with a mallory performance distributor, new headers, new radical cam, and a new 750 cfm Edelbrock carb. Oh and i should mention no rust and a few dime size dents in the rear. all of this for 800 dollars!!!!!!!! The catch... i have to get bolts for the new fuel pump, the headers, get a new thermostat and neck and a new exhaust.. and put it all together. so i wanted some opinions on where to get the parts and which ones to get. fyi... i dnt have much money.
