75.5mm vitaras, eagle rods, ported oil pump, havent decided if im gonna run performance or oem bearings yet...

MAYBE::: ill sleeve it just for kicks, because i know a machinest who may take over this motor and make it a beast... but i dont know yet, sleeving would be worthless for the power im gonna push to it but who knows, if its sleeved i might runa 75 shotto it and really give err hell, that would be to much fun lol

Minnesota, where the muscle cars out number the tuners 2-1... go to the cities and cruise and its all gto's, cobras, a couple supras, and stuff like that..

i did find a b18c1 for a grand on craigslist, which i almost shat, but i want to run a dseries, more pride in a d16
