Do you have a clicker torque wrench and a ring compressor? Compression tester?
Timing degree wheel? If you don't have the right tools, drive it stock and spend the money you saved to pickup women.

If I were boring out a block, buy a gasket set first, buy the pistons first and have it bored to match them to the largest bore acceptable. To keep the engine running smooth, balance the crank, flywheel and rods so it doesn't vibrate apart.

Putting in new main and rod bearings is a good idea instead of stressing unknown worn bearings with more horsepower. Turn it upside down, pull the oil pan to replace the bearings all at once. Put on a new timing belt so the old belt with unknown miles doesn't break and cram your new pistons into the valves.

wants too much. .Everything should be meticulously clean. Price the parts/labor before you start or you will run out of money and the car gets sold for scrap. If you don't have $1,000 to start, then don't mess with it. Drive it stock with a loud exhaust and act like you are cool.

If you can't steer it and can't stop it, don't make it go faster.

Where are you anyway? What city?

I wasn't planning on boring it out unless it was something I needed to do to put another head and everything on. I don't have that on hand but I make descent money. it would take some time to aquire all the parts but no more than a month or two, unless shipping screws me. Is there any electrical work that i would need besides the obvious plugs. Like a part of another wiring harness or something? Any recommendations for a descent rack and pinion?
