head and block were bought off of Rod on here known as victoryredss which many of yu know because of his RWD insanely powered cobalt lol here is an email of exactly what has gone into the head and block i purchased,

Hi Alex
>
> Waiting on parts suck, I know.

> The valve train components are Ferrea parts. The sleeves are Bates.
> Head/main studs are ARP. The bearings are GM. The o-rings were made by JBP
> and require the Cometic head gasket to seal up properly. The sleeves need to
> be properly CNC bored/honed for the over sized pistons you are waiting for.
> The head was polish/ported by JBP but re done by a local machine shop
> (Kershaw performance) out here as we know jbp's workmanship.
>
> I hope that helps out.
>
> Rod

I look forward to seeing that engine built and put to good use. Glad to hear your pistons finally arrived. Now get the block CNC'ed and get it built properly. Maybe once it's all done you can drive to jbp and show them how an engine is supposed to be built.

This is gonna be pretty damn sick man. When do you think everything will be said and done? And what are you hoping for power-wise?
