a couple performance questions

[1fastRS]

okay, first off i've heard this thing about putting a jeep throttle body on the 420A. i know what tb i need, but what mods do you have to do to make it fit, and what kind of gains can you excpect? (with full exhaust (header,high flow, and cat back) , cai, screamin demon coil, and msd plugs) also i'm getting ready to build my motor for a turbo, but i dont know if i should change the bore size or stroke length. is it worth the trouble to do either? also when it comes to the head i know i need new cams, springs, springs, and retainers. what else should i replace? any other pointers are gladly welcomed. this will be my first engine rebuild so i can use all the advice i can get. and one final question... how hard is it to change the head gasket on the 420A? about how much down time can i excpect if i do it my self?

read these forums and 2gnt till your eyes bleed then read more. Ive been lurking these forums for about a year now and im still not ready to start my turbo kit. Planing on doing it all this winter/next spring and have the beast ready for summer. The jeep tb is a good mod just search and youll find lots of info. i believe the best is to try and get it to about 60mm then port match your Intake manifold

getting the head off is a trick i would do the engine rebuild and head at the same time cause by the time you get the head off you dont want to put it back on.....a friend and i just pulled the engine out of my 95 na and its really not that hard just make sure you find some one with experience to help you but be carefull there are some hidden costs oil pump water pump and anything that may break so do your reasearch and get your parts first!!!!
