If this is to be a dual purpose street/drag car, here are some considerations if I were doing this.
Cam? Go a little lighter on the duration, but use a retrofit hydraulic roller cam. Somewhere in the 224I - 234E range. Most common mistake, even with big blocks for the street is too much cam. Won't idle, no power under 3000. You'll hate it. Crane, Comp, and Crower make them. Ford Performance Solutions has a few grinds as well. And use Comp Cams pro-magnum steel roller rockers.
Carb. 800 or 850 DP, electric choke. Demons seem to be favored over Holleys these days. Recent big block shootout in Car Craft used Demon 850's on all engines. Or...Holley 900 ProJection.
Use as much aluminum on motor as you can, heads, intake, water pump to keep front end weight down.
With that much torque, the biggest problem will be hooking it up. Might even consider a C6 auto for quicker times. 17x11 wheels in back to use 335/35ZR17 tires. And Baer 13" front, 12" rear brakes.
