Yea i dont have much money like joseph "JOC" said its an extreme budget build the heads and intake where given to me from a friend and the injectors and fuel pump are from my brothers old CTS-V set up so a guift as well. the cam i bought it from a member on here for cheap and new. As for the cracking...i ran tap water because my radiator had a leak and the week it froze i was sick like a M..F
So it sliped my mind. Jon at HKE is providing the block Dirt cheap aswell so prob. biggest budget build ever

It might be a budget build, but dont skimp out on important things like valve springs, retainers, locks, the oil pump. One cheap valve spring can ruin your week. Plus yours is a 98 so the oil pumps were prone to failures.
Just buy the Melling or the Moroso and be done with it.. And as far as Valve Springs go, be careful with the trex.. It is a good cam but can be a Valve spring killer due to the nature of the lobes on it..
