You're wasting your time and money without a set of better flowing heads and an aftermarket intake.

agree'd. how you going to pull your motor, get it machined, install a cam,,,, and leave the stock heads / intake on it?????
that is a lot of work for the little you are doing to it.
if anything, throw the cam in it and wait till you can afford the rest to do the engine rebuild.
it took me two years to save the cash (and im surprised i was able to do it that quick) but i finally got it and did it all at once,,, with about two months studying and prep.
you can see it on users rides.
good luck.

I also agree, mainly because your're going to get all of the block done, then put the cam in and you'll probably feel disappointed. The power increase won't be as much as you're probably hoping for. On the other hand, if you're just taking your motor step by step and it's more convenient for you to get the rebuild done now, rather than later (when you have cash for heads), then go for it!

Oh yeah, I'd also suggest you have your motor blueprinted and balanced while it's apart. (just a thought)
