Ok, after my oil pump locked up on me, I luckly didn't blow the motor. I replaced that and the shaft of course. Now I have about $400 or so to spend. What should I get next? My motor has 128k on it and I don't have time to rebuild it yet. The motor is a little noiser then it was before the oil pump went south. So what do you guys say? All my mods are:
1 5/8 MAC Longtube Headers
2 1/2 MAC Off road H-pipe
2 1/2 Flowmaster 2 Chamber Cat Back
Trick Flow 1 inch intake spacer
Crane 1.7 Roller Rockers
FMS GT-40 heads (Fel-Pro 1250)
Edelbrock Performer intake
Crane Compucam 2031
70mm Cobra MAF
BBK cold air intake (fenderwell)
MAC underdrive pulleys
Crane Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
MSD TFI coil
FMS 9mm Wires (Blue)
Pro 5.0 Shifter
King Cobra Clutch
Motive Gear 4.10
Lakewood Lift Bars
Steeda Subframe Connectors
MAC strut and tower brace
50/50 shocks
Thanks

If your engine is getting noisy, save the money for an emergency engine swap.

You don't usually get much warning with that stuff sorry to say.

You've probably dramatically shortened the life of the rod bearings.

Thanks, I plan on putting a new motor in it this winter. I'm just thinking of different things I can do. Like a 351w stroked to a 427, build up a bad 306, or have a high revving 289....
