My personal suggestion would be to build the bottom end the best you can. Good crank, rods, and pistons. Then later when she is ready you have a very potent bottom end in the engine and can focus on the real power producing parts, the cam and heads. You can have a really strong rotating assembly for about 1500 dollars minus your balancer and flexplate. PDude or any of the other guys can hook you up with one. As long as the bottom end is stout you can step up to almost any reasonable lelev when ever you decide to.
Example
4.21 inch stroke (or 4.25 if you want) 3 inch main crank
Crower Sportsman or Eagle H-Beam rods
SRP or Ross (Depending on how much you want to spend) Pistons.
After that its pretty much where ever you want to go with the car. Pull the heads off one winter and send them to Dave at SD or Ken at PPR or PDude , and let them do a little massaging on them while you arent driving it, after she has gotten used to the car for a while. That is what I believe I would do in your situation.
