Keep everything else stock.
I seriously considered this before I sold my Bronco (351W). If you can fabricate most of the plumbing, the budget isn't much different than heads/cam, etc. if you go with Chinachargers. You will need a standalone ECU, however, and there's also the question of whether the rest of the drivetrain is up to it. Low end torque is good at breaking things, especially with big tires.
As to the shorty headers, if I were replacing a broken cast iron manifold, I would definitely use them. After a lot of looking, I had settled on Brothers Performance, but ended up selling the Bronco before doing the exhaust.
The GT40 stuff was pretty good in the 90s, but is bringing really high prices these days. More than it's worth, IMHO.
