You will be adding about 80 lbs to the front of your T/A. Seem like a good build. It didn't say anything about which heads are in the package.

I told you already bad idea. I completely forgot to mention that it was iron haha. You will add a lot of weight to your car, and you won't have as good heat disipation. Go to a junk yard, find an ls1....not hard to get a junked LS1.

Seems like he has good feedback on his parts but when he sells an engine there is negative feedback. If your selling a rebuilt motor that cheap your cutting corners. I'd stay away from it. Plenty of reputable sponsors here to work with you.

I wouldn't do it. I would stay away from anybody who has bad feedback. Its just not worth the hassle.
