1967 Barracuda Slant Six to 440?

So, I ended up buying that 440 and trans. It's in my garage. I'm rebuilding the 440 this upcoming semester in my engine rebuild class at community college. I'll get to see if it really has 36,000 original miles on it. ;) Maybe it will have a mild cam since it was in a motorhome? It has a Thermaquad carb on it. I heard it run when it was still on the ground on blocks... =P~

Anyway, I was looking for some suggestions. I want to make this car a reliable street car that I can drive anywhere. Also, I would ocassionally like it to see the drag strip. So I would like it to go a bit, you know?

I have access to the engine machine shop of course, so money is pretty much the limiting factor. I'm not looking to spend 20g's unfortunately, I go to school full-time and just can't afford that.

What do you guys suggest? Bore over? Or should I just rebuild the motor and run it stock? Stock heads or aftermarket aluminum? Can I just do some head work at school to the stock iron heads to pump a few more hp out of them?

I was going to purchase Schumacher motor mounts, and their headers as well so I didn't have to deal with problems.

I know I need a rear-end, I was thinking 8 3/4 from an A-Body with 3.55" gears. What about leaf springs and shocks? Also, do I need to get tubs? I know I'll need new wheels. What would be a good size and wheel?

I already have '73 Dart BB spindles in my garage so I can run disc brakes up front. What about steering? Maybe I can install a rack and pinion type steering?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for your time. Any suggestions are much much appreciated. Think about it like it's your car! :-D
