Default gettin rid of the STS goin NA

SO iam taking the kit off soon. and i was weighing my options of what to put in.

iam on a strict budget, basically the money i get from the sts kit and then the money i sell my old motor for.

i was thinking of goin cast iron 6.0. stock bottom end for a lil while. l92 heads milled down and custom gibungus cam and possibly vic jr EFI intake.

450-500 wheel is my goal how does this sound? iam open for all suggestions!!! keep in mind iam on a prolly 3k budget. its gonna be a used 6.0 then new bearings and what not put in


let me know guys
