Hi.
Ive got a 325 engine sat in my garage that was removed from a car some 3 years ago.
Im looking at getting it "refreshed" and installed in a car.
But before I do,
What are the BEST options to tune it up.?
Ie headwork, different crank, manifolds, cam change, steel rockers, lighter flywheel, re-map. etc etc
As I said the engine will be getting new bearings and new piston rings, so itl be at the engine shop .
How easy is it to get 200 + bhp from one of these.

PS,, I DONT want to turbo it....

Thanks...
Dave W.
