A few swap questions please!

I am trying to do a 351 swap as inexpensively as I can. I'd like to fine some used parts that will work well.

How hard is it to find a 351 distributer that wil work with my duraspark, if it is possible? Would it be cheaper/easier to switch over to MSD. If id use msd parts, what would I need and around what would it cost?

I heard there was an oil pan of a 4x4 that would work. If that is true, what years should I be looking for?

I was talking to my machinist and he asked if I wanted to convert my block to roller lifters. He said all he'd have to do is drill 2 holes. Does this mean he can use all the roller parts from my 302- lifters, etc? We didn't get to finish the conversation.

I am also getting rid of the A/C. Can I use an a/c delete kitthat has bracket for the p/s pump insead of buying swap brackets?

Everyone is telling me to use an Eldebrock Air Gap intake. What is so great about that? I was considering using a Weiand Stealth intake.

I've already decided to use my 1970 351W heads and one of the 2 intakes mentioned above. Now I'm considering what cam to use. Does anyone have any suggestions of what would be a good street/strip cam?

I hope this isn't too many questions at onece!
Thanks!
