Cam and lifters would also be a good addition - I was trying to keep it "bolt on" but by all means, if you're comfortable with digging into the "bowels" of the engine, a cam kit would be good. Summit SUM-K1102 is a good bet - 262/272 with .420/.442 lift and it's a hundred bucks out the door. You'll probably want to stay with a hydraulic flat tappet cam as the conversion of a 307 to rollers would not be justified (IMO). Broken in correctly, a flat tappet will be fine.
Bear in mind, that changing out the cam is a lot of work - i.e., taking the entire front of the engine off as well as the intake manifold and rocker arms. If you've built a 327/350 you know what has to be done. I've changed a fair number in the car, but I prefer to do a cam if the motor's out of the car just because it's easiest."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil
