Default 1979 mustang going for twelve seconds

Hello Everyone this is my first post. I just purchased a 1979 mustang with a 302 and a 4 speed. Here is my question. It is the stock 1979 302. I am trying to get a 12' second pass. Here is what I was planing on doing to see if I can get to the goal. Please let me know if I am on the right track or if I need more work to be done.

1979 stock 302 longblock.
performer Rpm intake
650Holley DP
Roller Rockers
long tube headers
I was thinking of doing a solid cam similar to the old 289 hipo cam. (any good solids for this type of cheap build.) I will change springs also.
A set of mickey thompson drag radials

Please Let me know if this will get me a 12 second pass.

MY advice a decent set of heads & cam

Gears,major weight reduction & suspension upgrades

you say cheap.....

Horsepower is not cheap and you need it run 12's......
