Ultimately? With 180k on the engine that's a tricky question. I really need to assess the health of the bottom end, timing chains and heads. While great engines, it won't run for ever. But I may leave that for a later time since I want to see how far I can go in original form.

I think as a first pass this winter I will simply port the plenum and injector housings, paint them and the valve covers. Do headers and exhaust. Change out the clutch and install a Fidanza (already sitting here). Add a Hurst short throw and c-beam plates. Top it off with a tune. While in there I need to check the intake valves for carbon and assess the health of the trans.

That should pep things up.
