The 408 long block is done. Ended up going with a 4.0" stroke Scat forged rotating assembly with 58 tooth reluctor wheel and a 230 240 114 LSA cam (.625 gross lift)...valve job and resurfaced the 317 heads. The engine will be going in my son's 79 TA so installed a Holley 302-3 oil pan.

Son has no interest in making the engine look old school, so that simplifies things.

As for next steps, wondering if an OEM LS6 intake and cable operated throttle body would work well with this combination in the TA.

Planning to use Terminator X. Car will have TKX, so no need for X Max unless someone convinces me to go with DBW throttle body.

Not sure if the Drive Junky accessory drive will work...car has Ridetech suspension and True Turn.
