I forgot to mention that all the upgrades I have suggested. you can do any one of them at any time as money alows you to do so.

also dont just think about the engine, you should upgrade the brakes , shocks, and transmission for a good solid and safe ride.

engine mods as follows. you can use factory heads but they with need porting , valves , springs. for what you will spend you can get a new set of heads that allready flow much better. here is my suggestion on heads

AFR- AirFlowResearch- Outlaw Street Cylinder Heads 165cc Intake Ports Pedestal Rocker Arm Mounting 60cc Combustion Chambers
69cc Exhaust Ports 1.450'' Hydraulic Dual Valve Spring with dam
120 lbs. Seat Pressure .550'' Max Lift. jegs part#033-1472 $1,330 for 2 heads complete .
or
DART Pro 1 CNC Cylinder Heads 225cc Intake Ports 62cc Combustion Chambers 2.08'' Int/1.60'' Exh Valves 1.437'' Dual Springs, 130lbs @ 1.800'' .620'' Max Lift jegs#301-13071122 $2,492.


crankshaft you can use the stock . but if you want a much stronger bottom end you will have to change the stroke.

pistons will depend upon how far the machine shop will bore the cylinders . in combination with a longer stroke crank and rods. that will change the compression ratio

but you can get forged low compression pistons like SRP Pistons Dia.: 4.030'' Piston Top: -2.7cc Dish, 4-Valve Reliefs Pressed Pin
Comp Ratio: 9.42:1 w/60.4cc Heads, 8.55:1 w/69cc Heads
Ring Grooves: 5/64'', 5/64'', 3/16''
this piston can let you run on regular pump gas . still have desent milage.

like i said I would leave the crank and rods alone, unless you question there condition , the max hp that you could get from this combo would be just under 320hp , and a stock cast crank and rods can handle this and up to 380hp without breaking a sweat.

you can make it better by installing a good set of main, rod,cam bearings, use plasti guage to check for oil clearences . they should match the factory specs.

the bearings I recomend are Clevite 77 you can get these anywhere, like autozone , call them for the best price

gaskets use felpro brand . get them at places like autozone
anything you can get at a local autoparts store would be much cheeper .

with this combo you with need to also upgrade the transmission torque converter to a B&M Holeshot 2400 Converter jegs #130-50416 $280.
and a B&M Shift Improver Kit jegs#130-50260 $30.

moving back to the rear of the car . you have many options for rearends for this car. local bone yards will set you up for around $200.

replace all motor, and trans mounts, driveshaft Ujoints with new ones, that way you eliminate any week links.

If I missed anything just ask.
