Default Big end bearing

hey everyone.

well its sad to say but i have finally killed my engine the other day. i did (well about to) do a big end bearing as i can hear it starting to rattle.

i am getting a ej207 fitted on tuesday but i was wondering is there anything else that i should look at when it goes in?

i got a ARP head stud kit, sti metal head gaskets, sti oil pump. and getting the head ported and polished plus all the belts and hoses etc going on at the same time, but is there anything else?

i am keeping the VF34 for now. so i was looking at injectors and a new fuel pump. i gather 650cc will be surfice for the mount of power i would like to run.

Thanks for the help

tim
