Things you should have REPLACED by a reputable mechanic before attempting to modify for performance:
1. Timing belt (a MUST if it's around 80-100,000 miles)
2. Water pump
3. Belts
4. Air Filter
5. Spark Plugs
6. Oil Filter
Things you should have CHECKED OUT by a reputable mechanic before you modify for performance:
1. Head Gasket
2. Power Steering Unit
3. Clutch (I'm assuming it's a manual tranny)
4. Transmission
5. Distributor
6. Cooling System (related to head gasket)
If you don't have these things done, you can do serious damage to the engine and ultimately the whole car if you modify for performance without proper care or good parts.
If you don't do this, then take a look at the pic I've attached...you'll have to do that at some point... (That's my dad and brother pulling the engine out of my 1990 Lude...going for a full replacement b/c the idiot that owned it before me screwed it up)
Preludes are notorious for cooling system problems, but if you have it checked out and replaced first, then you'll be good to go on modifying your 1995 Lude into the biggest, baddest Lude on the block.
Good Luck!
