accusump would be nice, have the tank in the rear of the car. def something worth the research if you're going to throw some coin into a rebuild.

if the engine block is fine, i def would go the 4.2-4.4 route.. just to avoid having to machine for sleeving. but if you want the extra displacement then yeah.

again another though i wish i did was bump the compression from 12.1 to 12.5.. make a world of a difference on power output, but you'd need 100oct minimum. i had alot of E85 access so it wasn't a big deal if i did do that.
