Message	-Fully machined the block porting the water passages near #5 and #6 cylinders. -Bore pistons and hone w/torque plate. -O-ring block and use copper head gaskets -ARP main stud kit -Arias or JE forged pistons, probably 2mm or 3mm overbore w/NA oil squirters and Swain coating of top and skirts -New Eagle rods -Polish crank -Moly rings -JWT cams if going w/JWT turbos. Or Jun cams. -new Valve springs to handle the higher lift cams -check the lifters. If in specs, re-use them -port match upper and lower plenums w/heads as well as exhaust manifolds w/heads. May want to wait for Dupree header-like manifolds (still in development). -Stainless steel valves (especially change the exhaust ones) and Swain coat them. I'd rather do all this, than a new short block. Just gotta find a shop that has experience w/VG30s. ---------------------------------------------------------- 1990 Stage IV En route to wheels,tires, suspension change soon (currently on jackstands doing the suspension). 1970 Dodge Challenger 'vert En route to all aluminum 528 Hemi, EFI, Shaker hood, 5-speed, Dana 60 rear. Draining my wallet even faster than the Z
