Bummer on the crack. I had my 1st one welded [brazed]. It was in the old wrecked mustang. I then put it the 89 forgetting that it was welded. Did't take long to remind me. The welding job was free and he told me it would be good just to test things. I know going to hate me. It reminds me I need to go get one in a junkyard that has only one bolt in it. Last time there bought the downpipe and 4 injectors off it for 8 dollars.

Twin cam, gotta cost major $$$$$$
Why?
You need custom pistons and a 1" (maybe 3") chunk of aluminum welded on and then have to get it mechined, then a DIS, custom, custom, custom. Maybe next wint I'll do it

Ok time for an update...
Unkknown to you guy's and girls I have been having issues with the person who I bought the engine from. He has owed me the VAM, wiring harness and computer for a month and a half. Now I'm taking him to court to get $200 or the parts. I aint going to get rid of this engine and if he thinks I'm going to then he's smoking something way to strong
Anyways.... I have ordered a 1st gen bob's log for $110, I also found out my parents are going to buy me headlights for my car on my b-day () I have also wired my fan up to a switch because my sensor almost cought fire a few days ago oh well though. Its fixed now
Anyways here is the link to the bobs log (crack has been welded so no worries) and the headlights my parents are getting me.

you should talk to a body shop and tell them if you buy the paint and do the body work all they would have to do is paint it. Im doing that next summer with my Crimson red with Silverish flakes..Im copying macadoo's car I think that's the one. it's gunnah cost me about 400 with paint and the labour. . all I have to do is sand..there isn't much wrong with this body.

I have to sand everything down on my car with 200, then 220, then 400 and then look for anyplaces that need filler (I know there are at least 4 places)
Then I have to seal the metal so rust doesn't form (nutralize) then prime, then sealer, then paint
