Don't do anything or buy anything until you have an iron-clad, written-in-ink plan of what you're going to do with the motor and the car.

When you get to the point of buying parts, I would recommend this timing set....

I have a suspicion that to use what you have (all forged parts) to advantage, you'll end up with a high-rpm Saturday Night Special and you'll want a good timing set.

I'll even go out on a limb here and suggest the heads that ought to be on that short block....Brodix KC-IK-210....

Again, buy nothing yet, I'm just bench racing and these are just my opinions. Others may have better ideas.....
