You've got a good starting point there.
My suggestion would be a nice cam, a good sized carby (350 Holley, Weber, Twin strombergs..), a set of extractors and a good flowing exhaust. If you want that bit more, get yourself some thermofans and a custom

Quadzilla - why the hell would you spend $2500 - 4500 stroking a 186 when you could buy a stong 253 for what would be probably the price of the 186 itself? why? why?
