What do you have for gears in the rear, is it an A/C car, and How many miles are on the car? If the miles are reasonable you might what to look into geating a Super Charger that puts out 5-7 psi of boost. That way you won't stress out your bottem end, and mixed with the right cam should give you a very strong running motor...... At the time of rebuild, I would put some good heads on it, and get forged internals, this will let you put more boost through the motor safely and effectively.......

you need suspension to get the power to the ground

U/L Control arms
subframe connectors
torque box reinforcements

If it's a factory motor it should have forged piston from the factory
