yes, in my opinion. Coated headers will keep underhood temps down.

ditto. it will also slow down any rusting of the headers.

Converter, cam/springs, muffler welded into stock pipe, and mail order tune should do the trick. You might be slightly over budget though, so go for used parts from good sellers if you need to.

With $1500 assuming you do the work, I'd get a full N20 kit, vette servo, shift kit, and a dyno tune. Stock driving with up to 150 rwhp when needed.
