I'm not a big fan of the stock injector styling/ single feed rail. :/ but i guess you could do that but a fuel system would look baller.

Not tough- if you're keeping it under 600-700 hp this is the route to go. You're going to need 1j parts though. Look up r154 swap to get more info.

I say go V160 from the jump if you can, there are deals to be found on them you just have to look and be ready to buy when you see a good deal. I had W58 then built R154 and even with built R I was still not too confident with it. I have a Getrag now and will be slapping gears and driving the car the way it was built to ha ha. If you get a r154 make sure it's built using Marlin Crawler parts.

Really- he's telling the truth. If you can swing it the V160 is MUCH better and if you get the high hp itch you won't have to replace the tranny again. I wouldn't go with anything other than Chevy transmissions or the Getrag so it was kind of backwards for me to recommend the 154 to you. My bad Dawg

Nope- just make sure you go with an RPS clutch if you can't spring for the Tilton.
As for the fuel system debate- I'll throw my 2 cents in. I have the dual feed custom made to fit 14mm injectors...mistake. If I could do it over I'd do a single feed 11mm with a reg off the other end. Simplicity=magic.

I would also look at HKS and OS Giken clutches as options as well- the dual disc OS Gikens have had nothing but great reviews, and I can personally speak to the triple plate HKS. If you're looking at multi plate, skip RPS offerings they've had serious QC issues. RPS's single discs are great but a little rough. Hold the power reliably all day though

Inline 6 Performance Dual Feed Fuel Rail http://www.inline6performance.com/b6furakifor9.html
Aeromotive FPR

Some SS Braided Line would be needed to run another line to fuel rail.

-Engine-
GTE Aristo Swap
Dr. Tweak Harness Adaption
*Will need to swap engine motor mounts and upper and lower oil pans along with ground harness.
Garrett DBB GT3582R
CXRacing or ebay Divided Manifold, have it inspected by a shop to see if it should be rewelded.
Summitracing or Jegs for SS Braided Oil Lines
Tial BOV
Tial Wastegate
Ebay for a Universal Intercooler kit should be $265, cut all the piping yourself make alignment lines and have a shop weld all the aluminum
You should have a pipe or 2 left over to make a intake pipe and get a K&N Filter 7" Long
Full 3" Exhaust or XSPower 3" to 4" Downpipe and Midpipe

I think he meant HKS lol. And also take a look at GSC cams as well- the 269s outperform the HKS 264s with no losses.
