Motor coming out what upgrades shoud I do

[blwnhp]

Having valve issues, motor coming out, is it worth porting the heads and blower, changing transmission input shaft, is a valve job with a cooling fix ok or should I get the revised heads? Any other ideas on upgrades?

What you do depends on budget and what your goals are.

Ported heads with good cams will give great results but that isnt exactly cheap either.

If you are pulling the engine apart and plan to make more power later then I would switch out the rod bolts, new oil pump, pistons, and rings.

Yes and no. Depending on what the cams are and how they are timed you can make a car pass emissions.
