Default opinions on my rebuild

im rebuilding my 2l pinto motor

doing a few mods while im at it

I already have a mild crow cam and extractors

Im thinking while i rebuild it im going to:

Bore out 40 thou
Flat top pistons to suit
new conrods
hardened valve seat and bigger valves (unleaded)
double valve springs
head ported
balance bottom end
lighten flywheel
balance crank

then i will source all the parts for efi and do that afterwards aswell


I think thats all, if anyone can give me advice on changes i should make plz tell me. Also if any of you know specifics about bigger valves etc, i was going to leave it up to machine shop to source the valves??

and also with the head being ported, ive heard i shouldnt polish it?

and what should i do with intake and exhaust ports, specifics?
bearing in mind i will have sierra efi manifold on there soon.

And also if theres anything thats overkill in there let me know
is the bore size good? and should i get double valve springs etc?

its just for street/weekend driver

thanks
Ryan
