all parts are standard... execpt lightened crank and flywheel. rods, shells, pistons etc are all gm standard.

but nearly every part has been renewed... cost a pretty penny, close to 1k in parts and headwork. but she's basically a new engine..

Did you re-build it yourself? If not who built it for you?
and who did the headwork?

cheers

i assembled it myself... headwork i left to my a friend of the family who owns a head shop called autohead recon up with us... Work is first class and cheap too. he rubuilt the head, all new parts, waterways sleeved to prevent going porous, ported and flowed as well.
