Wow, that is sweet looking. Almost makes me wish for my original motor. Are those matching rims on the trailer?
 
I would lean towards EngineTech; known quality pistons and rings for stock. (Silvolite and Hastings)

I used the Engine Tech kit in my 225. EngineTech assembles kits using known components.
Silv-O-Lite flat tops (.040), Hastings moly rings, and my machinist (doing this since 1962) confirmed they were King rod and main bearings. Because he is a business, he could substitute or delete up to 3 items. I told him to not get the oil pump. Gaskets are OK but I couldn't confirm the brand. My machinist said he never had a problem with them.

Roller rockers? I'm a /6 newbie but I don't think I've run across any. The Nascar engines built for the compact series back in 1962 or so, buzzed the 170 to 7000 RPM's but they may have bushed the rockers, can't remember.
 
How about Clifford performance rebuild kits and cams, any advice on them, I've heard their customer service is crap, how about the quality of their parts though
 
I stay away from ready made kits. They always cut corners to keep costs down. You can pick good name brand parts and piece your own kit together for just a little more.
 
My dad and I have bought a lot of kits from Northern Auto Parts. They offer several kits, you can up the bearings, gaskets, etc to better ones. Some kits let you select cams. If you don't see what you want call them and they can build you a kit. Been using them since the early 90's nd still the same great support.
