1 yes if you tap the lifter valley for the "spider" that holds the "H" bars down. We have done a few with no problems

2 the c8 heads would be good if they are 4 brl heads but need the large knotches in the exhaust ports cut down to help exhaust flow.

3 all 302 rods are the same H.O rods are based on the old boss castings

4 no but there are some performnance products intakes on e-bay for 114-130 bucks.

Yes you can get a reto fit roller can setup and use the ford .
I would look into the cost for all of that. Then look at the cost for crane roller lifters and a real roller. I'm not a big fan of fords stock roller setup.
