    on the SOHC my experience is simplest is the best.

    Id look at CP Piston and Eagle rods, cheap, affordable, can handle 500whp (youll never make that)

    Stock timing belt and water bump is fine. No need to upgrade just make sure its OEM and new.

    Stock Oil Pump

    ACL Bearings

    Stock headgasket or even a cometic is fine. just use ARP headstuds

    Camshaft wise, honestly, IMO, they are all junk. Ive seen multiple people make more power on stock cams than aftermarket. Keep the stock cam but id get like Skunk2 Springs and Retains so you can rev a little higher.

    Sleeves are usually good to 300-350whp, as long as its tuned right. Maybe a blockguard is a good idea. anything past that i would sleeve it, but at that point you might as well go B Series.

    Stock ignition will support 400-500whp, just get 2 step colder plugs correctly gapped and NGK Wires are the best.

    Leave the crank alone, just balance it

    so leave out the cam swap i was woundering about that but springs i will do for sure what is your advice on the head should i spend extra for porting or let it be?on a 350 porting heads makes for big power when you add other things like cam good carb and tune but i dont know if its worth doing on this particular motor,and on the crank i might have to get it turned cause the block im building has a rod knock.and yeah 500hp is way more that i ever would attempt it would prob scatter the motor but i have read of some guys with sohc motor in the 450whp range with vitiara pistons and stock sleeves running 25-30 psi lol thats nuts.

    so basically the stock ignition,oil pump and water pump will work for me nd what im doin.i really just want a strong motor that can take what im gonna give it and stay together for a long time basically over build it

    and yeah im gonna stick with the d16 i like those little motors, and i wanna do it all myself except the tune im gonna use scotty again for that
    i will have a ton of trans and suspension questions after i finish the motor hopefully with in the next 3 months with a little luck
    yes i am....
