I would let the guys at Butler Performance put together a complete engine for you.
They have raced vehicles, built to your current vehicles modifications, and many more vehicles that were a lot faster.
They were racing a car like yours when they were 12 years old. That being said, they know 1000 times more about how to do the engine and chassis right vs in those early days.
If you are trying to learn how to build/maintain a race engine then stay involved in the engine build. Offer to Jim and David Butler that you will take a week off from work, "sweep some floors", and observe the engine build as it it going together. I would be surprised if you don't get a big laugh on that deal.
