Am i missing anything as far as part goes? Everything is gonna be standard size and bore becuase i dont the machine shop around here to mess with my motor. If im missing anything let me know....thank
 
what are your plans four the car?drag car or d/d?If you want a good performing car you can do it alot cheaper and have the same results.
 
more of a daily driver but faster...my 7bolt looks like its gonna die soon. How can i get the same result for cheaper? my goal is to get about 450awhp with the same turbo set up without pushing the engine too much. I know the stock 6bolt can handle well but i dont wanna push it too much on stock internals. Plus rebuilting it is just to be safe in the long run. Im not gonna run like ridiculously hige PSI...maybe around 25 PSI
 
what kind of fuel system do you have?you need to get fuel to the engine.here are some tips...balance the motor...port match the intake manny and exhaust manny.port and polish the head,the main thing is to make sure the motor "flows" or thoes parts will be worthless.
 
Just to let you know Clevite switched over from the Tri-metal, and are now running aluminum bearings (I believe thats what it is now), have heard mixed reviews on the new clevites, but some people are moving over to ACL/Calico from Clevite since they switched from Tri-metal:(. As for the pistons I would go Ross.

Or just get a 1G intake mani.
To the OP I would say your original list is good, but make sure you have fuel, and a way to tune it like ^^^ said.

Guys the fuel systems is in my profile....i already have the fuel system taken care off and yes i will tune it once i rebuilt it and swap it in.

I dunno about the bearings. Ill try to look into it thanks for the tip

im keepin my ported ex. manifold ### i tapped my wastegate onto it. Im getting a SMIM if i can find a good one if not im usign the 1g manifold
 
If you go with a 1G IM get it extrude honed. Either way get a 1G n/t TB, no TB seal to leak from. The SMIM will be a nice compliment to the 1G head.
