getting ready to rebuild, what do I need?

The X cam is a poor choice for our cars. The TFS is much better if it's included. The Cobra intake is fine. If you had to buy the entire kit you could always sell one of the intakes. Sell that X cam to a Fox body guy.

I love the 'Help me spend my money' threads Unfortunately, I'm too tired to have any seriously constructive thoughts. I would offer that 4 alphabet cams welded end-to-end make a great mailbox post If you don't know what's in the motor, I'd recommend tearing it down first. Identify the heads, see if you've got any forged bottom end parts to work with and then decide how to proceed. I tend to not favor twisted wedge heads for street use. Simply because once you put the pistons in to accomodate the heads, and then it becomes a PITA if you ever want to try other style heads on your motor. Just a personal preference. And I'm partial to AFRs. Maybe I'll stop back after a long summer snooze and have something more useful to add.
