Hold off on getting a cam until you actually have a blower. If you get a blower cam and run it with a N/A application, it will not run as well as it could. The same goes for N/A cams in a blown car. The best thing to do would be to go ahead and to the head work while the motor is out, then just add the cams in at a later date, after you have your F/I.
As for what else you are asking, I have no idea. Proper punctuation and spelling go a long way man.

if ur looking to bore out the motor that means u will be doing the internals too, and doingthe heads, theres no point of buying the motor just get the short block all done up and buy the stage 3 heads or stage 2. and as for the tranny swap ull need a lot a drive shaft shortend i believe, trans mount, clutch cable, clutch pedal assembly, pilot bearing, and some other stuff. just get a beefed up AODE with a 3500 high stall converter

Wow what friend charges another $900 to do a swap. I do them for free for my friends all I ask for is the old shortblock.

You are going the wrong way with you build. No point in wasting $1000 on an entire engine when you don't need most of it. Just find an old shortblock and take it apart. send it to the machjine shop if you want it bored the should do it for around $10 per cylinder. Either get your heads P&P or buy the already done. As for swapping the trannys you will need a pilot bearing, flywheel, clutch, TOB, fork (if the tranny doesnt come with it),drive shaft, clutch cable, pedal assembely, tranny harnes, ecu, shift boot for center councel. I would just stick with the auto if I were you.
