switching to a better block would give me insurance, but the trans would be the next in line to blow. (AOD-e)

I vote good block bigger heads and a real turbo

I will entertain that offer.

As much as I would like a 4-bolt block, this is a budget project. By keeping parts that have a limit keeps me from spinning out of control and waking up one day with an OLS car.

I will hopefully get the motor out this week and take the drivers side head off for inspection.

Thanks Jake for the offer. I'm sure I will need BBR to fab me up something cool.
