But not long after I even started thinking of that, i shifted to F23 bottom with K20a pistons rotated 180 and forged rods. F22a head with extensive work and a hardweld cam about as bold as jdm_accorn. RDX injectors etc. Almost a copy of what accorn did. My plan is laid out across 3 pages in my build book (a spiral notebook comprised of every build I've ever done back to the 90's) and covers everything down to the type of oil and heat range of spark plug i want.
A solid plan is a must, basic understanding of theory and operation of the STOCK systems is a must before you try to modify it. Having a solid baseline to work off of (working like it did from the factory) is a must.
If this was mine, I would use the the money I have to get the H powered coupe running properly, fix all the oil leaks, etc. so I could DD it. Then get rid of your car payment, then start tearing down the auto CB to methodically build using the money I'm saving every month. That ~$500 will add up quickly to build the auto if that's what you want.
*edit* I don't see flip flopping around while figuring out what direction you want to go in as a bad thing, and bouncing ideas around in a forum like this can yield a different perspective and reveal things you may not have thought of as a flaw. Flip flopping can be a bad thing if you are trying to rush it, or start buying parts before you have a concrete plan.
