I have a '98 Yukon with an unmodified 5.7 Vortec that I'm either going to have rebuilt or replace with a crate engine (not sure which yet).
I like the idea of retaining my engine since it really just needs freshening up, mainly due to oil consumption.
It has 240, *** miles on it, also has the cold engine knock (always has though).
I started a thread in general maintenence which turned into more of a high performance discussion so I'll try to continue that portion of it here.
I need opinions of the accell complete ignition kit (with dizzy)
Is it a decent distributor and coil to go with vs. MSD?
Price wise, I might have to spend $40 more to run msd.
here is the accell kit.

And need a little help with long tube header choice.
All I can find for a 4wd is the pacesetter long tubes.
Does the l31 have "angle valve heads"?
Also does it have the AIR system?
Here is the set I have my eye set on:

I'm also going to upgrade the injectors to the Delphi fj10566 mpfi system.
I'm not a very wealthy person so, What I'm looking to do is knock a few things off of my list performance wise, and make smaller steps until it's complete, if I wasn't replacing the engine I could do just about all of it at once but unfortunately I can't at this time.
lt4 cam & 1.6 rollers Will come in the future as well as a performance tune.
I plan to have an extra set of heads rebuilt, and have a little work done to them when I get ready for the cam and rocker upgrade.
