George: One of the main reasons that I am attempting to obtain detail on these engines is that I am about to start the rebuild process on the "newest" one - an unknown entity to me as it came with the wreck that I purchased in phase 2 of my restoration project of 2005-2007.

One of the things I have planned, once I get to the point of determining just how much I have to bore out the cylinders and what bearings need to go oversized, is to put in a D grind cam.

In the process I presume to have the ports cleaned up and maybe get the head shaved down a little. I guess if I really wanted a B20, I could just go ahead and buy one, but...

Any other hints on what might be prudent as regards upgrading the valve train, carb jets and needles, etc., without turning this into a $5,000 project. (I have already read Phil Singher's informative piece on How Not To Rebuild An Engine)
