Firstly no 18rg was 150hp from the factory the most common ones are 130-135hp if the head is fine then it will need the usual surface shaved valve seat grind couple of new valves here and there new springs if needed etc. The head may have corodded around the water jackets, be stupidly warped or have an internal crack from not being assembled properly or abused. all = new head. if you need timing chain guides = $$$ if you need a rebore you cannot (to my knowledge) get off the shelf pistons = custom $$$ your waterpump and housing should go on the rg too tired to think of anything else. I recomend getting one already rebuilt and using it as it is far cheaper in the long run. i have recently done the conversion (very easy) so if u need any questions just ask.
