PM me! Let's talk! Let me know what you want for it, and maybe what you are looking for your project. I am prepared to pay for it, but you never know what I might have that you might need....I am sure we can work something out.......

Also, how are the ridges on the cylinder walls? Is it going to need to be bored out at all? Or could I get away with honing it and putting new rings in it, or will it even need it? Were you originally going to run it as is? Any idea on the milage on it?

And the black is perfect! It will go awesome with my silver powdercoated valve cover and oil pan......Let the Raider Nation 16V begin!

Yard I got it from swore it was out of a running car with under 100k miles. The condition of the head leads me to believe they were full of sh*t.....

Factory cross hatching still evident on cylinder walls. Once scratch you can't feel with a fingernail but can see.

I was going to run it as it and see what happens.
