While I love your car and it would be awesome I feel it would be a little more than I’d want to spend.

If you buy a car with one with over 150K on the clock and no record of them being change I highly recommend you buy a set of OEM gaskets and either OEM bolts or some ARP hardware and change them out(new T-belt kit and thermo recommended at the same time while it’s out)

Exactly the info I was looking for, thanks!
