It's been a while since I've posted, but I lurk around here a ton still, but finally got out of a money-pit relationship so I can begin working on the beast again.
I have posted about my build idea some time ago, but in review I'm going to try to make a good drivable vehicle. I plan to have it set up for optimum gas mileage while working for a fun to drive package. I want to avoid pulling a freshly rebuilt engine so I plan to make all of this work done with the head and external modifications.
Basics,
DUI
Pony carb (maybe throttle body in the distant future)
Headers (I hate my glasspack exhaust with a passion)
T-5 and maybe regearing the 8" rear. Someone on here mentioned having done a T5 swap with this year and model, and I was interested in maybe dealing with that person to help me with the crossmember issue for a fair price.
I want it to be fun to drive with efficient power, but in the last thread I made someone said something about a cam favoring the exhaust side of things which left me guessing, what if I just put in a slightly larger exhaust valve and did a bit of polishing in the chamber and smoothing the valve bowls and cast ridges.
And to add just a bit of power at the expense of mileage, A higher ratio rocker assembly?
Always interested in any ideas or tweaks.
