Found a low miles 99 GT PI engine that im going to pick up. It has the 8 bolt flywheel on it. I want to figure out some parts to put on it to help out the power and everything

Aluminum flywheel (fidanza)
King Cobra clutch
Comp Cams valve springs
Longtube headers (what brand.... thinking hooker, but kind of $$$)
Matching O/R X pipe

That would probably be all I put on it when I install it, because that will be cleaning out my bank lol. I already have the valve springs, so want to install them. I have an alum flywheel on my NPI motor but i have the 6 bolt crank, so I need to buy a new one in order to use it. Do you think thats a good idea for me? I liked it on my NPI motor. Let me know

Andy

Please tell me what to buy and WHERE to buy it for cheapest please

If you're going to do the valve springs, you might as well wait till you can afford some cams so it can be done the same time while the engine is out. I don't think the springs alone will do much for you.

Well I would install the valve springs now so i dont have to install the new springs IN THE CAR. I already have the springs, i know they wont make any difference in the power of it all. I know other guys have some input..... c'mon TTT

it might be a good idea to install the cams while the engine is out of the car also. This way they can be properly degreed and it will save you lots of aggrevation later.
