Finally, my first 360 and goals for it! I'll be asking a lot of questions.

Your overall combo sounds like til add up to a fun,reliable ride. Run the stuff you already have since you said you're on a tight budget. If you're comfortable with it and have a steady hand, get out the die grinder and clean up the bowls and ports on the heads. Have them milled to bump the compression up a touch and you'll be pretty happy with what you have already
