So ive fixed up all my electricals and am now at the point i can start work on my engine, i have found a local machine shop who i have spoken with today and started planning my build, what i want is to build this engine to take abuse on the track and drag strip and id like to be able to increse power over the years to keep it fun, id be heppy with 300-400hp,
i am going to be doing alot of the work myself with the help of some mechanic friends, the machine shop asked me what i wanted done and i wasnt exactly sure, what he offered was the following
Acid dip
test it for cracks,
check cylinder roundness,
deck it,
bore+hone it,
new oil galley plugs and clean galleys
and replace any core plugs and notch it out to fit the forged rods
He said he could do whatever i want so my question is ,what do i want?
I am in australia and plan on using wossener forged pistons and pec rods, link just because they are available and affordable

He asked what id like done to the crank and heads also which i could use advice on?
Ive read toyota bearings are the best way to go over ACL or others but im not even sure if they are available, also what headgasket and thickness should i aim for?
Im keen to start purchasing all the parts for this engine but i need to be sure as ill likely be buying from overseas,
thanks again for everyones input
