and yes unless AND even if you meant whp in your first post, your shopping list is overkill.

do some or better a lot of reading in our technical section and billzilla and you'll have a much better picture of what is necessary.

Last but not least the OEM conrods are fine the rodbolts are the weak part.

Agree, my little rebuild 4AGE bluetop on stock cams with a bit head work on stock ecu makes 121 whp (140 engine hp) That with a set of mild 264 cams should make 150hp easy on stock Ecu.
Your shopping list, with a set of pistons and a proper exhaust, and decent cams (272, 8,5mm), sounds more like >160
