Er...um...that's not a bad start but I'd probably recommend some new internals. I'd do some searching for prior threads, there's always so much talk about turbo's.

well, if you want to keep your internals (pistons, rods) stock, a good rebuild is a nice place to start. Might want to consider rings and bearings as well...

Just my opinion though.

If you plan on keeping a fairly mild setup, then new internals aren't necessary, however it wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in some bottom end balancing and some ARP rod bolts and head studs.
