A Typically, the two things people will upgrade are the pistons and rods. Forged aftermarket pieces will handle more heat and abuse than the factory counterparts. Now if you want to be even more on the safe side, then you can get new cylinder sleeves installed by a machine shop. As far as transmissions go, you can run either an older cable transmission or a newer hydro transmission. Cable ones are older and most could use a rebuild, so finding a low mileage hydro one might be optimum. Just make sure you have the right mount kit for the transmission. They do make both styles of mounts for the transmissions. Depending on what you're doing with the car (drag, road race, autocross or just a commuter) you can pick several different transmissions with various gear ratios.
