| I'd mix the parts. |

I'd take the C8AE-H (not C8AE-8) heads and install hardened exhaust seats in them. The D2 and C7 heads are an improper combo, so I'd avoid them. If one C8 head is bad, feel free to drop the D2 head in it's place, as these heads are similat.
I'd look closer at the "105" block, as it may have some nice reinforcements, though this is not necessarily a fact. It is NOT an FT block (found on 600-800 series trucks), but it there is a slight chance it has some or all of the FT block reinforcements - don't be too cocky, as I've got a 105 block that is as wimpy as you'll find any FE block to be.
I suspect he D4 intake has an extra EGR hole on the carb surface of the intake. Also, you didn't mntion how many barrels you've got in the two intakes, so I'll avoid details. Go with the greater number of barrels, and I'd also likely lean toward using the manifold with the "T" on the intake, not the "S". I may be wrong, but I still think of the "S" intake as the smoothest FE manifold ever made, but the "T" intake likely offeres better torque.
