cams are the best thing to add to it if you are rebuilding. and balanced crank so it revs better.

Make friends with someone who works in engineering so you can get your blocked bored out, ya bottom end and fly wheel lightened and balanced and your head skimmed on the cheap

take it apart, and label every bolt/clip etc in sandwich bags

work your way up from the bottom, do the head last

just replace everything you can be arsed to
