Might want to do some more research Stock blocks/cranks are fine, but pistons and rods are junk. Crack-free heads are drying up. A fully-dressed 2.3T also weighs as much as a 302 (which means it's MORE then an LS1). Good motors, but the market has come and gone on them. You'd have better luck building 12A's or nailhead Buick's honestly...
