your not really tearing the motor down that far when your doing heads. well basically everything on top of the block has to come off so you could say your tearing it down but its not as bad as you think. And if you are doing cams then you can do it while the heads are on a table if you are changing anyway. Grab yourself a chiltons or haines manual and take a look at what need to be done. they will break it down simple for you plus the books have all the torque specs you need to build back up.

Get a set of 3.73's in the back and a T-56 under your right hand. good low and highend power transfer I think. I only went 125 in fourth with two gears to go but I have not had the interest to really push into her top speed. If there was a good track then I would. I think I was around 5000-5500rpm. been a while so I don't really remember.

Changed out a few things. Its nice to have the six speed to help save on fuel cause i don't really pound into her. I am sure the six gear is really only good for that unless you have serious power then you could lay er down in 6th.

3vs do BREATH better, but we are lighter then you 3vers

here is a GREAT quote!

"I'd prefer a street 500 rwhp 2v over a 600 rwhp 4v simply because the 2v hits way quicker with street gearing." - Ed Clark
