Nicely painted block you got there. Is that the replacement or the current motor?

Welcome to the site. As you use the site you will find little things the site has. Things like you can change the way it looks, a radio station (under construction) and some other goody's to work and play with. I'm still finding new things it does.

Yep price is about right for the work done. Take your time and do it right, do it once. OH and feel free to set up a build thread in the build area. You will get a large fallowing like facebook but your cousins x-room mates girlfriend won't ask you to work on her farm.

I eventually plan on boosting it but for now I just need a beefy daily driver to match the beefy weekend machine in my garage before I actually satrted ordering all my. Parts I took some measurements of the engine bay trying to to see if my turbo supra motor would fit cause I got to in the garage just laying around but opped against it
