New Truck Guy Looking for Advice on 318 Rebuild

So this is my plan so far:
Headers (3" collector)
Aluminum intake
New 2 barrel carb
Everything else cleaned and freshened up
With this plan in mind, would a different cam other than the stock cam be advised? Im trying to get a little more hp just because I feel like I really have to get on the gas just to get the truck to move, which could also be just because it runs a little rough now. Not sure....

there is no point sticking an aluminum intake on it especially if you plan on just sticking a 2 barrel carb on it. you are better off to just clean and paint the stock intake. stick a rv/towing cam in it and you would probably get a bit more of what you want. they give great torque off the line and also offer good power up high. i know i wouldn't mind sticking the summit 6900 cam in my truck if i had the money to do it.

Oops I didnt mean the 2 barrel, I meant 4 barrel. I've been looking at the Holley Model 4160:

Gives me a small 4 barrel without too much sacrifice to mileage.

They take it great, as long as you dont go crazy on CFM's. I have been running a 5.2 Magnum with an Edelbrock 4 bbl for about two years. Only reason I did that though, was because it was alot easier, faster, and cheaper to carb the Magnum that I dropped in my '78. Now that I have time and patience, it is getting replaced with a 5.9 and Fuel Injection.

I just found this. 280 horses and 340ft/lbs sounds nice.
Here is the parts list, but with different headers

If my offhand math is right, its about $1300 for this setup, but I'd say you could probably sub out some parts to get that down some.
