Yes I know I'd need help considering this is the first motor I've ever messed with plus I still have much to learn about building an engine, I'd appreciate all the help I can get lol. the oil pump is new with boundary engineering pump gears.
My old motor will be my engine build adventure. I'll rebuild it when I have time, I've got a fresh set of pistons and rodz plus new rings. plus it'll be nice having a spare motor around, just in case, God forbid this beast dies for some reason!

First I'll label all I have now and how much I bought it for (since this is a semi budget build)

(All belts, seals, etc..)
* MS-$250
* Cops - $60
* AEM WB- $150
Autometer gauges w/cluster- $150
(Boost, oil pressure, water temp)
xxr 513's - $300
205/50/15- $200
1.8 brake upgrade- $150
Diy Home depot air damn- $7
* 3" exhaust- $60

Found out that my Head gasket is screwed on my stock block..... so it's perfect time to install the built bottom.....
just ordered a cometic .40 thickness head gasket, I'm expecting to see my Arp head studs from disturbedfan any day now and once the head gasket is in I can go ahead and get her in!!!!
woohoo just need some motor mounts!!!
