      PM me.
      Thank you for the offer. I will know for sure if I have a head on Friday when the seller gets back to me. If that somehow falls through, I will PM first thing.

        I got the OEM gasket. MLS has a head gasket designed better for use with forced induction, however it was pricey. I figured the OEM head gasket would be sufficient enough with the ARP head studs. Hopefully the head gasket won't slip and block a coolant jacket.

          Okay, cool. I was gonna say beware of the victor reinz ones. They are prone to leaking. Yea, MLS is cool, John@wottech in Ft Lauderdale is a dealer if you want to upgrade to one later;) Also, you could've gone full Condor with the bushings instead of poly:p The OEM one works fine with a good tune....which you will have with MS. Such excite

              Brake lines aren't available until I get a set measured out, which will be this weekend hopefully. After that, free for all! I've no issue sharing anything!
