Have may projects and have to do an econmy rebuild on a stock small blockthat developed a terrible rod knock on the way to a car show this am. Had ca towed home. Is a coupe and the engine is easy to get to for removal.

THE question: what should I do the engine once it's out to insure a reliable motor? What can I do to it while it is apart for a little more HP cheap? Cam? reworked heads? ALLinf/insights appreciated. This was quite unexpected and thus un budgted for. cb
