It's getting down to finishing touches time on my 83'T.C.redo. Original motor is redone(roller cam, ported EVERYTHING, custom built T3/T4 turbo, 3" exhaust, 88' big VAM,& computer, "brown tops", K&N cone)...and now I'm asking-have I missed anything?
I need to know what will be the best"bang for the buck"I.C. to finish things off. Any suggestions?

Best bang for buck would be getting an 87/88 JY (with hood) but for more power mounting it up front instead.

If you use the 87-88 you need the hood, valve cover, and shorter upper intake. Front mount is very effective but requires some plumbing.

Use a Grand Natinal intercooler. Much better than the factory bird cooler. They range usually cost around $100 or so.
