(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) tia (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Good choice. Leak down and compression tests are a good idea. They have some common oil leaks that are mostly not really a problem. Head studs. They pull. If the motor you buy has a paper trail look to see that they replaced the head studs. Hopefully, reciepts that show Race Ware or steel studs like the factory used to use. Dilavar shouldn't be a deal breaker but... well, they are the problem. Engine came with 207hp at the FW from the factory but with early SSI and a less restrictive exhaust plus a chip you can get 220. I have heard that there are a couple MAF kits out there that include a replacement for the airflow meter and a low restriction air cleaner and chip that along with the exhaust will pop you up to about 240hp. These motors really wake up at 4000 rpm... That is when you get the big smiles. Lighter car + 240hp and you will smile all the way to the circus... Sorry. Couldn't resist that one.
