On the other hand, getting some 85mm pistons and sleeves, with some nice cams and a general good rebuild, could be almost as satisfying for a third of the price, and still leave me with an option to turbo if I win the lottery or something

Exactly... hence my plan.
*Crower 402s (yes they're mild, but they are tame enough to get past CA smog nazis)
* Short Ram Intake [or DIY Icebox]
* 4-2-1 Header [DC Sports, most likely]. Cat-back is already done.
* Eibach Sway Bar upgrade. 18mm Front, 21mm rear.
* A decent short shifter.
Then, should my lotto numbers come in.. or when money allows.
* Crower's 2.2L stroker kit @ ±10.1:1 Compression Ratio...and a nice direct port nitrous setup.

Bah, enough bench racing.. as you were.
