If going turbo, I would definitely avoid boring the block unless it is absolutely required.

I recommend installing forged pistons and new stock rods (forged would be even better). Definitely install a GTE oil pump; it's a much higher flowing pump and you'll want it when you add oil cooler and turbo.

Later I would install upgraded injectors and swap in GTE electronics and upgraded fuel pump.

Cre got a new avatar!! cool

so the build continues. just as promised my rebuild kit has come in. new pistons, gaskets, water pump and what-not. free 2 day shipping!!! $275

so due to this being my DD and my boss saying im gonna start work again soon, i decided to keep in N/A but going with Cre's advice i wont invest into this motor till i can get a new one and go turbo. after this build is dont ill invest in other things.

soo today im going to the machine shop so i can drop off the pistons and they can test the cylinders and give me my block back! sweeeet. new head still hasnt come back yet. oh and since me and the lady are going to repaint the body eventually...... we got busy

covers look pretty dang good
