do you want opinions on ur planned set up?(specifically the intake and cam)

rockers... depends on the cam you get... springs no question yes they need to be upgraded

get an adjustable fpr, and keep stock rails

yea... you should get the kit for a 306 and have ur block bored... depending on what the cyl walls look like...t hat would mean getting new pistons too

at the least, get new bearings
