Re: Pulled the engine in my 87, suggestions on rebuild please

Your best bet is to stock with OE replacements for pistons, unless you feel like running premium fuel.

The camshaft should stay stock as well. The ECU does not like camshafts outside of OE parameters. The general exception is if your block has provisions for a roller cam, a good upgrade would be the TBI Caprice cam. Not a performance gain, but it removes the possibility of wiping out a flat tappet cam on break-in, and having to worry about oil additives.
