One more ?, is that block already bored? Seems like one could bore it big enough to get a 2.3's piston in there (92mm bore)

did you really feel the need to quote THE ENTIRE post just to comment about gaskets?
anyways, for being hottankedthat block looks a bit dirty.

^^^Lol I thought the same thing about the quote hehe..
But yea, I agree.. I had nothing but problems with this shop.. I wouldnt doubt it wasnt tanked.. Oh well, Im done with them..

I wish some1 put the pic of a 2.3 pump, OEM pump, and JBP pump all together. Chris you speak highly about JBP, did you use their pump in your 500HP motor?
iz dat sum sort of v8 or sumden??????? haha........... Trey every post he has made about this I see atleast 3 times you telling him to call you I think he gets the point haha J/P............. And for god sakes someone call me................. Ahhhh never mind I wont answer any how's LOL
Yes it is a cavalier deal with it
ok, pardon the ignorance on my part, but whats the deal with 9:1 compression and a pacesetter header? Seems like the motor's built for boost, I sure hope the header's temporary cuz all that just to slap a wheezy little M45 on it would be such a waste
