Well since I don't have a chasi should I just rebuild whatever I get and put just forged internals aluminum heads and a good street cam, that way I can learn joe to do it and when it goes il bore it out I 500+ cubes and then go for performance, I mean no matter what I do with it it will still be faster than my tacoma ahahahha
