Those are all good ideas, but for 2500 you could peice together a pretty nice street turbo setup with either blow thru carb or mega squirt econo injection. ive seen 500 hp on an engine like yours that would last forever. Of coarse better pistons, rods and crank would be best, but keep the boost around 5 or 6 and have a blast. that way when you step up in internal engine parts later, you can up the boost for FREE horsepower!

Yearone has just come out with a 350 small block that puts out 400+ horsepower for about 2900 bucks!

Looks good, I'd check to see if the pushrods you have are gonna work with that setup. I'd also get some new headbolts, and see if you need new rocker nuts. Where you gonna get a new converter?

I was planning on a B&M from summit. 2400 stall. I'm actually gonna do a 700R4 swap after I finish with the motor so I'll buy it after that.
