Oh, and i knew i was going to get heat on my side view and my head light( i set myself up for that one). the sad thing is,, that is a new assembaly, it just got really dirty, really fast.

Hey man. I think that is a little bit too much for an SVT engine which is the same engine but modified. You can get one cheaper than that on car-part.com for maybe around $800-$1000. Good luck with your search. You should also consider a 3L swap with SVT heads . Last edited by 2KSESport; 05/08/03 03:25 PM.
