I was looking at the PAW ad in one of my magazines, and it has a deluxe master rebuild kit. It includes pistons, piston rings, rod and main bearings, engine gasket set, timing chain with set gears, oil pump, camshaft and lifters. Now, they have two different sets, for 68-81. One is $298, and has cast pistons. The other one is $459, which has Forged pistons. I am guessing is that the cast pistons would be fine, unless I had a power adder of some sort. I think the cast would be my best bet, because that would be my rebuild and then i could invest in a intake manifold and all that stuff sooner. What do you all think??? Is this a good strategy?? So it takes along time to port the heads?? I guess i could do that at home, if i had too. A semester is 4 1/2 months though (i think), so its a lengthy piece of time. Granted though its only for 55 mins a day.......
*also, is it recommended that i get new valves, and if i do, is there any machine work that needs to be done to replace them. thanks.
