Although we are complete newbies, our plan is to pull this engine, disassemble it, clean up all the parts, paint and chrome parts as desired, and god willing, put it back together again.
The previous owner had the car for three years. He said a former owner "recently" rebuilt the engine, but there's no documentation for the history. The engine currently runs and sounds good.
I'm not interested in maximizing performance, but I'm curious if there are some low cost upgrades that will improve performance (more bang for the buck kinda thing).
You can't tell from the linked photo, but the headers are very rusty, and I'm guessing they are stock. If there's a performance benefit in changing the headers (spending no more than $800), how do I determine what headers to buy, other than the more $ the better?
Thx.
