    personally, i think you should get headers.
    you will be able to run more timing, and with the 3.4 pulley you will have so much more flow up top.
    the route i would take is...3.4 pulley, rockers, headers. ive seen those setups go 230-250 whp.
    without headers you leave a lot of power out on the table for not too big a price.
    then you can intercool down the line if you want moar powa.

    You can do a cam in the driveway as long as you have two jack stands.

    Requires fabrication skills.

    I'm guessing wheel well, then. Link to procedure?

    OP?
    I am not a welder, nor do I have access to such equipment. However, it's not obvious to me what in the post you quoted would require such skills. Could you elaborate?
