Nice post Jeed. However the use of the PI altenator bracker is not needed, the NPI will work fine. I highly reccomend getting the lockar dipstick tube because getting the stocker back in sucks. If you can get away with out having to do emmisions checks get an EGR delete, makes life a little easier. Timing the engine isn't hard, but deff DO NOT DO IT HOW CHILTONS OR HAYNES TELLS YOU TO. I've seen several engines destroyed thanks to them.
I love my PI swap. I wouldn't do anything more then PI cams, put that $600 towards longtube headers or any other bolt on you don't have. I made 265whp and 306tq with just a pi swap, pulleys , t/b and pl, catless mid pipe, catback + tune. LT's and an electric water pump should have me around 290ish, but I'm going the n2o route.

same here +1 on not getting aftermarket cams! i'd rather get something else for $600 + $250 for new valve springs to support the new cams.

also a buddy of mine on SN95 Forums he got his full pi swap + bbk shorties for like 500$ off craigslist and just needed to get the heads reconditioned n such to be able to put them on the block so he got an even better deal.
so my advice to you is to piece it together and you'll be glad you saved money! and are you installing it yourself or having a shop do it?

well thats cool, just give yourself PLENTY of time and don't just start taking things apart, keep things organized and it'll go faster trust me! and make sure you make it a weekend project since you dont know if you'll encounter problems in the process or not eventho i did it in 14hours with help of some.

RE: PI SWAP!
yeah but they might charge you more than it really is as apposed to buying it online like at SummitRacing or you can shop around to see other prices.
