84LX89GT:

You seem to be on the right track. Right now you have most of what you need except the biggies; a fresh bottom end, new heads, the blower you mentioned and peripherals such as injectors. I don't see much point in looking to spend the grand on the engine in it's present condition. You might try to trade the 70mm TB for a 65mm but it's not critical.

Now, I would concentrate on the suspension including upgrading the rear control arms and adding aggressive shocks. You'll want good rubber, too, of course.

If anything is left, bank it toward the engine work and power adder you've planned.
Don't make the mistake of spending money on the car just to spend and 'do something'.

It's hard to just sit on (what I call) 'car cash' but when you've got most of the bases covered, it's time to just enjoy what you have and keep saving for what you want.
