Opinions on these extremely long range engine plans???
Feel free to pick them apart if you see anything weird, stupid, pointless, excessive, whatever. I'm lookin' for a little guidance so that I can have an idea of what I need to aim for. Thanks!

you have both head bolt and head studs listed (same for the main caps)... you don't need both (they both do the same thing)... I would just use the bolts (you don't need the studs)... you do see that you are looking at close to 9 grand... what have you done to the chassis trans and rear end??? or what do you need for those items???

He he, yeah. That's why this is the LONG range plan. I need lots of money, and time to build up the rest of the car. Currently, the car is lowered 1", and I have some Spohn SFC's in my garage waiting to go in.
On the drawing board is a full front end rebuild with PST polygraphite parts, a World Products steering box brace, some 17x9.5" wheels w/ 275mm tires, 3pt strut tower brace, Spohn adj. LCA's, LCA relocation brackets, Spohn adj. panhard bar, and a Spohn adj. torque arm with the front mount raised about 3" to preload the rear a bit.
For the drivetrain I want an aftermarket T56 with a good clutch, a heavy duty driveshaft, and a Moser 12 bolt rear with at least 3.73 gears, maybe a little bit higher.
Oh yeah, and all that safety stuff, like roll cage, driveshaft safety loop, when it's all necessary at the track.
So, that's about all I can really think of off the top of my head. It's all part of my lifetime plan, unless I win millions in the lottery any time soon, or something like that.
