are you planning on keeping the EFI or switch to carb?

carb, get an edelbrock air gap RPM, and run an 800 eddie, or if you have room a spread bore adapter and demonsizzler TQ.

cam, get it reground by bullet using the HR259/316, HR258/320, or HR262/312 lobes for both intake and exhaust

get the heads redone, get the seats opened up to ~1.905/1.61"--the stock valve job is undersized enough to be able to run 1.88/1.6 valves. do a 30/45/60/ and a 75 or 80 degree bowl cut, then blend the bowls, and open up the pushrod pinch a bit.

use hughes #1110 springs, with retainers sourced from a couple junkyard 2.2L or 2.5L chryslers.

I'd use a scat cast crank, stock rods or scat I beams, and probably the KB pistons with the quench dome cut off (if you have cheap access to a machine shop), or any dish in the 18-22cc range.

use headers.

should be near 400hp, and probably 500+ lb feet below 3000 rpm...
