Question I'm getting a new motor..... Mods?

Ok here's the deal... My car needs a new motor. The used motor will cost about $3500 ... My bro is going to do the install. When the motor is out of the car I have the opportunity to do some mods to the new motor before its installed. I'm not familiar at all with what's the best bang for buck mods that I can do while the motor is out of the car... Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Ehh

I'm not really sure... Just looking for some ideas of some things I can do that that wouldn't normally be done without pulling motor cause it's coming out anyway... This could be a stupid question but that's why I'm asking .. Because I'm not familier

Install some headers before it goes in.

You could build up the motor to handle turbos or an SC if you wanted to. I wouldn't go the NA route with the car though. Any custom work will cost you a second mortgage, for not that much HP.

Also, if you don't have a budget or goals in mind, you'll just be wasting your money. Have a reasonable goal set WITH a budget first, then see what you can do to reach that goal...Unless money is no object for you, then do whatever you want. GL.

If you don't mind being catless, then +1 on the used FI long tubes.
Also, poor Kuro is still trying to sell those lol.
