like the saying goes "don't judge a book by its cover." 
i tryed to build a nice all around sleeper.
finally its done the first ever hybrid in a jbody(may 19th 2002), 
the engine has been successfully converted to the gen III heads 
and 3400/3100 sfi intakes. 
who says gm doesnt make good performance parts, 
with the exception of the cam and rockers all parts on the engine
are stock type off the shelf gm parts, you just have to know where to look.......
