im giving my opinion based on the car will be on the road in cali.
i suggest poly motor mounts.
headers
ported and polish heads with good springs and bigger valves
new o2 sensors
cold air induction
have the intake ported for a 58mm (might as well while its apart)
and port match in to your heads.
52/58mm TB if you do heads/cam or stroker
a "better" cam
might as well put a higher stall TC while its accessible
electric water pump
double roller timing set
you could have a stroker built
i suppose you wanted to mod it??? its so much easier when the motor is out.

at least do headers while it is out, but i would recommend a cam and probably heads too.

Can't afford new heads such as the 195 afr lt4, group purchases on this board suck, you guys back out more than Grey Davis. I picked up a 95 z28 for 1500, the trans is trash, but the motor was good, as well as the rest of the car. I will upgrade to power everything in the car, fog lights, airbags, dash pieces, hood, fenders, and anything else i need for my heap.
