If you get a nice good seal from the get go with strong fastners and a good HG, then you hopefully won't have to worry about that ever.
AH yes, the headgasket/headstud combo. I will be adressing that issue as well. Wouldn't spend all that time and money, just to toss a crap headgasket on there haha. Most likely will be using a set of MAP heavy duty headstuds, paired with a permatorque or maybe just an MLS (seeing as the head and block will be resurfaced).

Hmm, well I may have to look into other injectors then. Seems that there is a consensus that 1600's aren't the way to go. I had comtemplated just getting a set of delta regrinds, as people have been seeing some good results with them. When the time comes, I will be looking for a set of used hks cams, as I did like the 264's I had in my car.

Once again, thanks everyone for the input, really appreciate it!
