Ok well it is officially a go. I have been searching on ebay for a little while and I aquired alot of parts to get me started with my project.
Here is what I Picked up
1. Fuel rail, with injectors and FPR $ 15.50 shipped
2. Throttle Body with sensor $ 22.84 shipped
3. Intake manifold $ 37.50 shipped
4. Cylinder head with cams, valves, ect $220.38 shipped
5. 1991 Intake manifold and TB M42 $ 41.00 shipped
Grand total on Parts $337.22
The project consists of getting the cams reground, the cylinder head ported and polished, and using the 91 intake manifold.

As for porting the head, I am going to see if I can't talk to my uncle and have him program the gasket into the CNC mill at work and having it ported that way. It just seems to me to be better and more accurate than having it done by hand.

I got a quote on getting both cams reground today, but it is dependant on if they have anything with a similar profile to the specifications that I provided them. They will charge me $100 to copy the profile then $90 per cam to grind So right around $280 for both cams. I hope they find something that will work, I will know for sure on Monday.
Good luck man. If you get some good regrinds then let me know the specs, I may have to look into that.

Thanks for the support that is what keeps me going. All the specs and a write up will follow after I get everything done. Also look for a Before (totally stock) and after Dyno charts.

I am still waiting to hear back from the Cam place, I guess I will call them later this week If they don't call.
Good news is that I recieved the 91' intake manifold today, and I have a tracking number confirming delivery of the rest of my parts tomorrow. I took the throttle body off the 91' manifold today and it has a small adapter plate with vac lines running to it, so I am going to see If I need that plate or not with the 98 throttle body.
I think I need to use the 1998 throttle body because I have ACS on my car and there is a sensor for it on the throttle body.
Well we should know tomorrow atleast if the ports match the head on the intake manifold.
