Need Help With Ford Cummins Build

Okay so i recently was given a 84 gas f250 auto front wheel drive, which gets 10 miles per gallon and the only thing that works is the axle and frame. I would throw it out but it has sentimental value, and artwork on the body. So I'm planning to do a huge overhaul and basically turn it into a hot rod. the problem is that i don't have a lot of free time right now and the time i do have i'm sleep deprived and not quite functioning properly. So i have assembled all of the parts that i'm putting in and I would like you guys to give it a once over and tell me if i have made mistakes, what kind of estimates you have for horsepower it will develop, 0-60 times, top speed, etc. any information is welcome. What I have now is kinda stressing the budget so if you know where i can get some of this stuff cheaper that would be nice, but i'm open to suggestions for better parts and such.

P.S. I can't decide on a transmission so I would love suggestions any thing under 4k is good.

Part Number 37095, 37038 Monroe Shocks

Remanufactured Cummins 03 5.9 liter 24v HO (Vin) C 305 horsepower

for trannies I prefer manual so you should go with a 4500 or a 5600 if you want a auto get a 47rh it is a manual shift trannie and can be built for what you want

first question you want a hot rod then why not use the 12v for 2-3 hrs work and just a couple of gaskets less that 10.00 you can have 350-500 hp real easy why go with an engine you have to computer control now you could put a p pump on that 24 valve and have something
