Ford 302 build first timer

So what i'm reading is that you can reuse your crank, rods , and so on but if i want a little more power i can throw in a cam, and install new carb to jack up horse power.

Any more advice

Thanks

That is pretty much correct, but like anything that sounds simple, you have to make sure you components match. By that I mean you have to make sure your valve springs are able to handle your cam, what the specs of the cam is Roller or Flat-Tappet, what you plan on using your engine for. Just some of the few things to remember
