Default engine build help

Im going to be starting my 103 build soon. Im purcashing a set of brand/O'keefe heads with matching cylinders and je 10.5 to 1 pistons. ill be getting a gasket set, adjustable pushrods, Woods 408-44 magnum cams, feuling lifters and a cam installation kit with a gasket, bearings ect. Do i need anything else to complete this build? Ive been looking at getting a feuling cam plate and oil pump. is this recommended? id like to save the money if possible but if its critical to the reliablity ill go ahead and do it. Thanks for any input.
