So pretty much have to figure out a head and replacement valves... looks like i need two exhaust valves (if they are oem i have replacements) and then have it port and polished then reassembles it with the parts from this head and then put the motor back together again.

but i will let you know if i need anything

Ok, am i misunderstanding something or are you planning to swap a crank and bearings to another block? Thats not a good idea. Bearings are sposed to be sized to each individual application. I would whip out the plastigauge(sp?) and see if the bearings allow for the correct clearance before you put it all back together.

damnit chris... what if people are at work... title needs to be labled NWS, as for your motor, it's a terrible feeling to loose something you worked hard on , but i have a feeling that you'll turn this around and make it even better
