The only reason I really started looking at carbs was due to reading on here and seeing many people say the 1405 600 CFM carb I have it to small and the car would run better it I had a carb with more CFM on it.

The problem really came when I started reading on carbs, then people mention cams/lifters/rods and I get distracted and start looking at all that stuff as well haha. I actually found a complete engine rebuild kit for 250 on offer-up after that, came with pistons, rods, lifters etc etc etc. I get distracted way to easy, I literally have to lock myself in a quiet room with no one around me to be able to study.

it might run better, might not. changing the carb and not tuning for it could make it a lot worse.
on the rebuild kit, without knowing what you actually need $250 is still not a deal. what size are the pistons? what size are yours? what kind of top do they have? what's it going to do to the compression ratio? do they have a stock pin location? will your block or heads need milling? there's literally a 1000 things you want to know before you buy a rebuild kit.
you have a great starting point there. i understand, i spend most of the time i can't work on something thinking about what to work on next.
write down what you want to do to the car, whole thing, however out of reach it might be. blown 408 with a 6 speed, whatever. then do the stuff that needs immediate attention and learn to work on what you have and keep updating the list as you see other cars. a lot of this depends on what kind of driving you want to do with it. cruising around with the family can be way different from a street car you can use for track days. and if your driving the wife and kids around, simple and reliable will keep them happy too
