So would the above 3 items work well in combination together. I'm thinking they're the most cost effective.
I know he doesn't want to go nuts building this thing, but he'd like more power for sure.
I've got a 12 ton press so the pulley seems like an obvious choice.
Where can i get these 1.9:1 rockers at?
Thats new, used ones pop up all the time on CGP for $200-250 depending on mileage.

OK, another question, i'm finding a LOT of good deals on buick park avenue, buick riveraand buick regal motors from 97-00, but very few on the pontiac grand prix. Are the motor mounts different on these, what other issues am i going to be dealing with if i go with one of these l67 motors vs the grand prix...thanks again for your help everyone!!!

You have to watch the H-bodys because there are some minor differences in the mounting as well as other things. The upside is that they tend to be less likely to be beat on. Since you're replacing all the engine harnesses anyways, and the basic engine is the same- I imagine it wouldn't be too much worse to switch over some mounts. You'd probably be better off with a gtp pcm though, as some of the people I've seen swap buick L67s run into problems with the factory antitheft.
