iTrader: (6)

Not sure if this is the correct section to post this or not. But i'm about to put a 6.0 together, to go in a 83 chevy caprice and need a little suggestion on parts and where to get them. Car will be a daily driver

Here is what i have so far and what i wanna get.

lq4 short block (2001)
i have a set of 799 heads that i'm sending to tea or AI to get cnc'd
what gm head bolt kit to use with this combo?
what oil pump should i use with his setup?
Flat top pistons.
not sure on lifters either. wanna go back with stock, but keep reading that the stock replacements are ls7. would i have to change the lifter trays to run those?
arp rod and main bolts.
i have a tbss intake that i got with the motor. not sure if it will clear the hood.If not will be using a ls6.(will be getting ported along with heads)
what application should i get the head gasket for? trying to get 11:1 compression.
Also will be making a custom instrument cluster. so will i need electrical or mechanical gauges? i know for the speedo i will need a mechanical. But which one for the oil, water,fuel, and tach?
should i go with 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 headers? trying to get at least 420rwhp. Will i be able to achieve this with ebay 1 3/4 headers? if not will probably get hooker. how much difference in hp will it be between 1 3/4 & 1 7/8?
thanks and sorry for all the questions.
