Default top end setup

i am in the process of getting everything to rebuild most of my motor. i just want to put new rings on the pistons for now and put a set of AFR 165cc heads with a E303 cam, Trickflow street heat upper and lower intake, 70 mm throttlle body and possibly some new injectors.

any thoughts on this set up would be awesome.
i would get a 4 bolt main block if i could afford it, but i just want this to last until then.

some 24# injectors and a better cam and you're ready to rock.
letter cams are garbage, a Steeda #19 with some 1.7RR would work great, so would a TFS 1, small COMP, or (as always) a custom grind.

Well since you're hauling out the pistons, it'd be a good time to change (atleast check) your main bearings and your oil pump as well. I know it adds up.. but a new thermostat wouldn't hurt either. Good luck!
