Tear down the shortblock. Have it mic'd to see if it's within bore specs or if you need to over-bore it. Basically, you'll need all the bearings (cam, rod, main) and piston rings for the appropriate pistons. A gasket kit, timing chain set, and have the crank mic'd/polished or undercut if it's not in spec. Check the rods, replace the rod bolts, and have the rods re-sized if needed. Decide on a camshaft if you're upgrading, choose the appropriate pushods. Check the condition of the lifters, replace if necessary.
Block will need to be cleaned and mag'd, at a minimum.

Ok thanks. I got one more question could I use a cobra intake with trickflow twisted edge heads
Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on
:
Yup, you would need to do a port match though.
Posted by JACK SWAG (Member # 9412) on
:
Would I be porting the heads or the intake? And would I have to buy new pistons since it twisted wedge?
Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on

Opening up the intake. And as for the pistons, it depends on your camshaft selection. Nothing is cut and dried when building a engine.
