Sounds like a cool project, I've always wanted to do one of those myself. It may help if you post a little more specific information in regards to what you need help with.

Do you need the valves adjusted or replaced ? Does it need a basic tune up like replacing plugs and wires or do you need the computer tuned ?

Hope this helps and you should post a few pics.

valves aren't that hard really, just time consuming....had to do them on my 95 like 3 times in a month once....(long story short, friend said he did them the 1st time, and cranked them all the way down tight...2nd time I slung a rocker off from a broke stud...3rd time was a charm)
