Question Pulling Engine.....Next Mod?

Well a week from today (Sat) I will be pulling my engine to ship her back to GES to fix my broken crankshaft. So with this out I have easy access to virtually everything. I have 155,000 miles on the car, only 4,000 on the engine and tranny. I already have a NOS Dry Kit w/ bottle warmer, blanket, etc. I just need to install it, plus I need to do a MSD Digital 6AL and Window Switch. So what mod should come next?

I was thinking the BMR K-member assembly with motor mounts from Thunder Racing, so I won't have to worry about anything in the engine compartment other than the engine after that. Everything else that I have done is listed in my signature. I wanna get all under the hood mods finished so that way all I need to worry about is suspension, rearend, and brakes. So let me know what your think I should do next. As far as price limit try to keep it under $500.

On a side note, where can I get ahold of an LT-4 Knock Module? Will a GM dealership have it? Someone on here hooked me up with the # for Jason Cromer to get ahold of parts at wholesale price from GM so is that the way to go? Thanks.

LT-4 KM won't fix a thing,have your KR turned off in the computer if ya think it's false knock,Or put in the resistor.

How about a torque arm??
On the shop car '94Z there wasn't much difference in weight,but made more room for headers.

I didn't expect it to fix anything. I just thought it would help the car out in the long run, as a kind of necessary thing for a built engine to help reduce false knock.

Torque arm, huh, other than makin room for headers, what else should I expect to gain from this?
