Spare Engine, what should I do with it?

So after all the swaps, I ended up with quite a few left over parts here and there.
This includes a TL block, TL-S head, TL-S cam, RL crank, a set of MDX pistons, and a spare tranny + torque converter.

What do you guys think I should do with it?

I know darton make a sleeve for our motor that can hold up to 1200whp....lol

Maybe some extensive headwork? Forged piston, darton sleeve, APR bolts..etc?

Maybe I should look into a RWD conversion too....

You should see what happens with a 150 shot of nitrous.

Keep all that stuff in case your current setup takes a dump on you!
