Fp green down! Need rebuild how?

I have a 73 HTA Ported FpGreen. I'm looking to rebuild. I did buy this (Feed Kit) which I thought was to help filter debris but evidently not. I had a thrust washer shred and crank walked. Some say cause due to ACT clutch setups. I'm not sure regardless of cause, I need to rectify the issue. "Play hard Brake Hard"

In the process I'm doing a lot of custom engine bay work. MS wire Fuse box relocate. Starting a big build thread soon. Thought it was a good time to do so since the engine is out. (Keep tuned for the thread link if your interested in following the build)

So with all that said... The engine is rebuilt now and ready, still have some head work left to do but the turbo issue remains and I need to rectify before it goes back in. I seen someone did rebuild a FpGreen without sending to FP. It is a 73 HTA Ported Green 18lb gate. FP evidently does not sell the rebuild kits to general public. (It is understandable but sucks) So how do I rebuild my green without spending 550$ at FP when i intend to get maybe a red shortly! my goal is 600 ATW I don't see it smart to spend 600$ then spend another 1200 to upgrade to a red from the green that's 1800 might as well just buy outright a red. I have a stock 8 turbo but also have the green. I will be upgrading to red or black or maybe something else but, my budget is tight and money is limited, maybe you can let me know some options. "Any help is good help".

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks for the help.

Thanks,
Steven
