With 200k+miles, I'd save my $$$ towards replacing the motor first before adding cams or any other type of engine upgrades. IMHO adding mods to an engine with such high mileage is only going to end up causing your rings, pistons, rods and so on to wear out that much quicker from the additional stress you'll be putting on it. Anyhow, just my opinion

Yeah that kinda what i was thinking i can get and complete engine and transmission with 85000 for less then 2grand then upgrade it to my liking

I think that would be your best option IMO
