Technical questions about SBC build

I've got a '62 truck that I've been working on and while it's apart I'm going swap a 350 in for the 283 it currently has. I found a TBI 350 a few weeks ago that had all the accessories along with a TH400 trans, and I went ahead and picked it all up. The casting number on the block is 10243880, and while I haven't had it completely apart I can tell that its one of the roller blocks that wasn't fully machined for a roller setup and currently has a flat tappet cam in it. I'll be converting it to run on a carb instead of TBI, and since I need an intake I want to go ahead and get a full top end package that has heads and a cam, as well. If I'm sticking with a hydraulic flat tappet cam, can I use any cam/head/intake combo for an SBC 350 from any year, or do I need to look specifically for post-87 parts?
