o and btw you did a great job! very inspiring!!!
i would go with a blown TII, but it cant just be any TII, it has to work with your car.
my car is an 88', so i was able to use either an 87' or 88' TII engine.
I would go with a blown engine and rebuild it just like i did.
Upgrade as much as you can/want while your engine is apart and on the hoist.
Get someone who knows what they are doing to rebuild your engine for you.
Definalty look into porting, dont go too big because reliablity becomes even worse the bigger the port!
The best idea if you have time is to find a parts car that you can use (specific year(s)) that has everything for your swap like how i did mine.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the comment man!
