Sounds like a good plan, now to find a cam that works with that setup.
You will need the 50oz. flexplate regardless of the trans your using. A 28oz. used on the 5.0 will create an imbalance.
You would need a front sump oil pan and late model flexplate.
The 4 door panels are completely different.
:Welcome: from Washington State We love pics around here, so post them up already!
It would look much better lowered. Could stand to come down a couple inches.

If your on a tight budget and it's priced right you could slot the lower mounts to work with the smaller u-bolts and run it. But it's not by any...

The fuse box is in the upper left hand corner of the firewall and the flasher sits to the left of the steering column behind the package tray.
Yes, it will fit. I have run that combo in my car with a toploader as well as a tremec without issue. Both with full length headmans.
If this build is still for your son, the "best" combination might not be to maximize the horsepower level for the parts you're working with. Just...
The lifter bores on a roller block are taller than the bores on a non-roller block. I don't know what the limitations are on the retrofit kit are....
