I've seen the car before. It still has the factory 6.6 litre 400 with big chamber 6Xs. I think the more important question is, what is your budget? The best advice I would give is since its a #s matching car I would leave it that way. I love the Summit 2802 cam. Great power and awesome sound. The factory carb is great on that motor with that cam. I would personally get a rebuild of the stock components, heads, crank etc... and do a .030 or maybe an .060 overbore. Install a good set of headers and a nice 2.5" dual setup. If the car has that rear I would look for a better ratio. At the absolute minimum run a 3.08. A 3.23 would be great but if you find one, you are going to pay good $ for it. I am supposed to get a '78 parts car soon that I was told has a 3.23 in it.
As far as the rebuild, take it to Carolina Machine in Johnston. They do all my machine work and I assemble everything here but they will do your complete build if want them to. I would order the cam and supply it to them. Let me know if you have any questions man, I'm right up the street from you.
