First time rebuilding the bottom end. What is the best/cheapest way to squeak some more power out to the wheels? I have a mildly built top end with and RV cam and springs plus aluminum rocker arms.

Questions:
What is the best way to lift the block out?
Do I replace or upgrade the oil pump?
Crankscraper?
Upgrade any internals like rods?
Shave flywheel?
Replace oil galley plugs?
Anything else I should watch out for?


Going to replace the clutch while I'm in there, I have no idea how old it is and the throwout bearing sounds like screeching eagle sometimes. So, do I get Aisin for $110, centerforce for $350, LCE for $311, or something else?
