So I am interested in your opinions on a couple things....
I'm going to need to pull the engine and get the heads re-machined as well as check on a few other things... This is my first project car, I am an Engineering student and have been interested in cars, done some work on them here and there but nothing this serious. Yay for a learning experience...
Should I just look to replace everything OEM? Or while I am at it should I go for some upgrades (re-bore, performance heads ect....).
I already have another car that I love and am going to keep, and I don't really need a second (as said before this is my summer project) but with all this work is it going to be worth my time and money to try to resell it when I am done? Or should I try to keep it? I have plenty of capital and paid cash for it, so money really isn't to much of an issue... but who doesn't like to make some extra money......
I am really interested in your opinions thanks in advance....

Shit, if you're gonna pull the motor, you might as well put in something worthwhile

ie, a RL 3.5

Since you're an engineering major, you would probably embrace the challenge. Check out this
thread and this
thread.
PS, you might want to crop that pic a bit.
