I like your suspension goals. My DC plows into the corners with the 3.2 up front though I just have a simple lowering spring setup. I'm sure it would handle a lot better with some additional goodies.

Re: Pre- J Series....h23a Intermission..
I drove my friends J swapped EF Si around in the twisties today and it handles like a dream, equal or better even then any of my other cars, with B swaps in tow, and one has an H. He suggested saving up and going in, He's rocking Full race set up, magnetic Dampers all the way around, lowering springs, Upper and Lower Control arms, tie end rods with his suspension dialed in by a local tuner here, little to No body roll, doesn't plow, in fact dare I say it's more oversteer driven then any other Front engine, front drive car i've ever driven, while still being totally controllable..It's a full on HKS race kit custom spec'd for his car and it handles any and all of the problems i'd face having that big a motor over the front of the car....
**** costs close to 3 grand tho'...ouch...

Re: Pre- J Series....h23a Intermission..
So I managed to snap some pics, I was going through everything making sure things are accounted for, figured I'd get a few pics in...
Full gasket kit..
The head....It's about to go in for a 3 angle valve job and a port and polish, gonna do it at the same time I put the Crankshaft in for it's micropolishing.
'
ACL Full Race bearings..
Megan Racing Headers...I think I'm skip on these and use my Greddy or Skunk2 set up, i'm running 3" , and I haven't heard good things about these units..
Wide shot, Crank, Block, and Head...pistons are in there somewhere, the old H22a4 pistons..
There she is...I also found another girdle....So I got what I want for low level boost on stock, Full Girdle on the bottom end, closed deck...throw in a Ported and polished head, 3 angle valve job, ARP mains and head studs...I'm goooolden.
more pics coming soon but right now I have to send the Head and the crank out for a Micropolishing, A Port and Polish and a 3 angle valve job...Next up after that is assembly, of the type S inteeeerrrnalssssss!
