I'd go with a long stroke to pick up some torque in the lower ranges and to increase displacement to better use the TP's flow capabilities.

The TP was sluggish at lower RPM's at it's 'stock' displacement of 7 liters. Once the displacement increases though, the heads better fit the block. I'd use a 428 crank, whether you stroke that or not depends on the rest of the combo and intended operating range.

As for intakes, you don't have the FI crossram one do you? If so, I'd convert that to EFI if you're into one-off projects. Otherwise, since it's bragging rights and show, go for the 2x4V spyder intake and chrome the valley cover.

All JMO's.
