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
