360 build. Need advice

I have a 1972 Plymouth Scamp. I am looking at putting in a small block 360. I have always had a huge love for Mopars but I dont have much knowledge about them. I have a stock 360 right now but am looking at putting a high rise dual carb intake on it and running 2 carter 500 cfm with it. I need advice about cams, exhaust, and boring. I was told by various people to bore it .040 over and possibly even stroking it. I also was looking at doing a t56 swap or another manual since now it is a slant 6 with the 904. Have heard that a dakota 5 spd may work but idk about it. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
