For what power level?
Stock block does ~350rwhp easily.
Add forged pistons, and you're good for +450rwhp.
Pistons and rods have done ~638rwhp...but can do more.
Valve train is overbuilt for the low revs of a KA, and you can't really make it rev higher without destroking...so you're set there. Check out some of the new Crower cams...some require new springs/retainers, most don't.

Re: (:: orion ::)
where do you think I should look for the bottom end parts then?
