    Do the gearbox Before you muck with the engine....

    get one of pav-teks 'silver accelerator' 355 motors, they were just under $7k last time i looked. selling your old motor might almost get u enough cash for a decent stallie and shift kit. COME racing is selling 355 kits for 2k with hypereutectic pistons and I-beam rods. CAPA's 10psi vortech kit is worth $7k with chip and bigger fuel pump but that dosent leave any change for your gearbox
