why if you replace the pistons and such you will prolly want to change timing belt, oil and water pump, main bearingswhile its apart. then bam its almost new again

just wondering, how much would i get from the budget build? like 150-160hp? and how much does it cost normally to port and polish the head? or is it something that i could do with a dremel?
You could get close to 175HP. The porting and polishing is free if you do it yourself.
