What are your plans with the car? I'd go full bolt-ons and a cam. CMS motorsports is right by you. They can take care of all you performance needs and rebuilds.

Ditto... Check out CMS. They are close to you and they know their stuff.

Body style is a LT1, but with no sig info, who knows what engine he has or wants.

OP, I can answer any of your LTx questions, if that is in fact what you have.
I even have a nice cam for you to use.

Well that is enough for a nice heads and cam package from Ai.

http://www.advancedinduction.com/AiProductsLT1.html

Give them a call and they can ship you out one of the baddest LTx heads/cam packages around. That will cost you a hair under 2k.
To get the most out of that package you will want a stall and gears though, which is out of your budget.

What is your mod list right now? For 3k you might be better off buying a nice stall, tranny cooler, 3.73 rear end gears, and some supension mods with whatever's left. That will make your car a totally different animal.

Hell of a deal!

If you let me check it out some time I can tell you everything it had externally. I can even pop off one of your valve covers and tell you if you have any vlalve train upgrades.
