Last weekend, I got a funny noise coming from my engine bay, So, I took off the valve cover. Come to find out, a rocker arm fell off. Meaning I have a bent valve. In addition, the cam journals, and cam caps were all chewed to hell. I bought a used head from a guy.

My full intention for this car is to build it as a drag racer. I have a truck, and a daily driver already. Also, it wont ever pass emissions here in Colorado anyways.

Now, instead of putting that head on, and driving it around leisurely, ive decided Im going to pull the motor, and rebuild the entire thing. Because Im tired of these one off things Im finding here and there.

Money isnt much of an issue, (within reason), I take home roughly 850 a week. And my rent is dirt cheap. I have full access to a 1 car garage, any hours of the day, or night I want.

Lets start talking the fun stuff for this build, Internals, Ill upgrade the 14b at a later date. But i'll do all of the supporting mods first.

I clearly want to build the head because I have it off. I ordered some L19 head studs right now, a little early, but extremepsi has them on sale for 40% off right now. With my old 04 gto i had, everything valvetrain wise, i bought from Texas-speed. Texas speed specializes in LS motors, and do not offer anything for DSMS.

What is a reputable company for Cams for these cars? I see at the top right now it says Brian Crower cams, are they any good? Springs, valves, everything, i would like to know what to shoot for.

And because Im taking the rest of the engine to the bench, What options should I look at for the bottom end? How do stroker kits for this do?

Esssentially, say you had 5k to spend to build the motor, labor free, what would you do? You all know more about these engines then I do. I will take any ideas into consideration. Looking for big power, and low numbers at the track.

Also, all of the supporting peices I would need, injectors, fuel rail/manifold upgrades, etc.

Thanks in advance!
