getting slightly annoying ATM lol

All this info is on this site .....you need to get searching and make your own mind up according to how big your wallet is and how far you want to go.. We cant guess that...

But to get you started IMHO 1.5 roller rockers are not needed. Kent 266 is just one of the good cams.. No need to get bigger valves (but stainless maybe?) and you may have to open up the chambers to get the compression down (but pistons can also do that) Pistons.. first question is Cast or forged?

Other costly parts?? Just double what you THINK you will be spending and that should cover them!!
