Yah the trans I want to go with is the TH700-R4 Sorry I was thinking of something else when I typed that. The manifold is edelbrock and looking back so is the carb. The intake looks like the stock intake accept it is aluminum I do not think there is any rise to it. You know I am not sure about the cam( I know it is mild), bore, or compression. I got it from a friend who is a mechanic and had the work done at a machine shop. He sold his Chevelle before he got the motor back. I am sure it is steel pistons and solid rockers and lifters (not roller or Hydraulic) I am looking to get the 18 mpg that I have been getting with the 305 so if I need to change some things I will. My main concern is getting good quality parts with a good warranty. There are so many brands and beyond that there are a tone of no name parts. I will post more on the cam and compression.
