I would do a decent stockish rebuild to get the hang of this and work out the bugs and finish the car.

If you really like driving the car once it's done, and want more power, then start working on building up a hotter motor you can transfer all of your externals to.

Looks like you have your hands full already.

Building hot motors is a whole other book,
And the first chapter is "build a stock motor first".

There's enough of these projects unfinished as it is.

probably the most true advice i have recieved.
