Welcome back bro, good luck in your setup. Don't know about dyno's in Htown, but I may know some in Edinburgh.

 

I would get at least 4.10's or 4.30's. That 80e first is so looong.

 

The standard heads/cam/converter combo is probably what you're looking for. Don't be afraid of some 4.56 gears although 4.10s are pretty standard.
