Message	Said i need all new exhaust valves, oem $19x12 =$228. New guides, z1 bronze= $168 much cheaper then oem. He said the intake valves could be reused but it was up to me, they have the "eg" stamp. Wiseco 87.5mm pistons $650. 1 connecting rod was bent, new $148.45 or used from z1 =$38. Also the heads and block have to be resurfaced to get all the left over gasket off and ill need cometic head gaskets= $200. I knew this build was going to be expensive and i already had a $4000 basic list which looks like will be way more before its all said and done. But damn these parts are expensive!! My friends like to make fun of me because parts for their Trans Am's are a quarter of the price of these.
