I priced everything off ebay and yeah it came out a lot cheaper! I couldnt find the block on lhs though. The only blocks they had that i saw were the boss 302 blocks and they were about $1600!

no no no no no no
bear with me pulling an all nighter
TFS 170 heads (look on ebay)
used 3/8 1.6 rockers
TFS 2 cam
TFS R series intake or Edelbrock Vic 5.0
Mac longtubes
VRS OR X pipe
cat back of your choice (i like the Pypes Violators)
MEASURE for correct pushrod length
TFS intake elbow
75mm TB
get some ribbed Fox valve covers and paint them
fel pro complete gasket set
adjustable timing set
255lph pump
Aeromotive adjustable FPR
30# injectors
new starter
if you really want, get a new $699 shortblock from LRS
this should all be UNDER $3000 just look for used stuff and youll be a happy camper
put some 4.10's in the back and beef up the rear suspension and youre going to have a REALLY fun car, especially since EVERYONE thinks the pushrod SN95's are slow
look up some of xarmy187's video's and see what his does, and keep in mind he is at MAJOR altitude so yours will feel even better and run a good deal quicker

I have an Accel starter soo im good there. I'm going to do some youtubing to try to figure out which way to go on exhaust but if you guys want to throw some opinions out, I'm all ears.

A few questions from the master list here. lol What does VRS stand for, and what would be the difference between that and an x pipe? What brand fuel pump and what brand for injectors? Also, why mac longtubes over the other makes? I should get ceramic coated headers right?

VRS = company name
get the no-name 255lph on LRS its still a Walboro, FRPP 30#'s, and MAC makes a REALLY good product for the money, plus you can get 1 3/4" primaries into a 2.5" collector for the SN95's no one else really does that for less than an arm and a leg...

i like flowmaster or magnaflow exhaust, others are too loud/raspy for me it seems. I rather not **** off the neighbors every time I come up the street lol.
I have flowmaster 50s on mine - it's relatively quiet at idle but when I start it up or step on the gas it gets fairly loud and has a deep rumble.
If you want a bit more sound but still a deep rumble, you could choose flowmaster 40s.
