The head work should net 30-40 hp depending on cam.
Springs = go for a stiffer spring compatable with road racing upshifting & downshifting
Camshaft, might stay with the solid cam I have now. Might go custom grind.
Block = if the pistons, bores and bearings look good, then leave it alone.
If the pistons look bad = forged stroker kit
If the bearings look bad, switch the block for a 427 side oiler aluminum, 100 - 150 pounds lighter, with a better oiling system, suitable for road racing.

I always liked your car on the FE forum. I think it fits better here.
Send your heads to Blair Patrick you won't regret it. I would also have him spec a cam for you. He is a true gentleman in addition to building some of the baddest FEs out there.
The Pond block is a work of art and weighs less than 115 lbs. When I bought mine it shipped regular UPS. Stop messing around buy the Pond block and put a 4.375 crank in it.
