Welcome to the board!

Schumacher or TTI headers will resolve the exhaust issue.
You'll need to upgrade the brakes and differential for strength and safety.
The Demon carb is a great choice. Look at a 750 or 850 vacuum secondary if you are running an automatic. Final Carb size will be determined by max rpm, heads, compression and cam choice.

You should read everything in the tech pages. You can also perform a search for past post. Just about every subject about fitment has been covered time and time again, so read the tech pages first and then ask specifics. All questions are always welcome.

Abodiesonly and Moparts are also good resources................but bbd sign is the best!

You're going to want to make sure your brakes and suspension are up to the task, too. Define your use befor defining the car.
