Well, I don't really plan on seeing a ton of HP out of this, I just want, as you said, a more streetable motor. The bottom end isn't going to end up with a lot of attention. Just new rod bearings and such. A bottom end job isn't easy to do with the block in the car. Not around here anyways. It's got 200K+ miles, so it will see it soon whether I do it now or not.

The 4-2-1 was my original thought. I was going to cut the stock mani and build off of it, or just try and find another one to screw with. I like lots of torque ;)
