btw. I'm currently unemployed so that's why I'm being so cheap.
Oh, sorry Jason, I didn't realize you weren't working. Sorry.

haha well I put my new harbor freight engine stand together in the apt. living room tonight so that was fun. This weekend I'm gonna work on getting my cam out of the old block at Mike's (Black94z28)house so I can see what condition it's in, if it's good I'm gonna re-use it, if not then AC I'm gonna have to see if your cam is still available and the specs on it.

yea glasstek 4 inch cowl. it's not bad at all to see over. on a t/a those raptor hoods are badass.

but today I picked up some nice stock casting ported lt1 heads today from fatlt1. GOOD GUY!! so I'm gonna be selling my stock heads that were cleaned and decked, helicoiled, with new valve stem seals, pac beehive springs, new locks and retainers, and the choice of either 7/16" or 3/8" rocker arm studs. They have 0 miles on them with literally 15 seconds of run time since the cleaning and decking. The valves are stock valves, but the rest of the valvetrain has less that 1k miles. The casting is also the 643 casting which is one of 2 castings required for a core for their max ported lt1 heads.

So up for sale are these for $350 shipped:
