yeah i already ordered a complete kit to replace all belts/pullys/tensioner. im hoping to get it running first with the new head and make sure everything is workin the way i want before i start dumping money into porting the head and getting really into the motor. a friend of mine already has a block sitting around he is going to give me i just need to pay the shipping on it and ill start building the motor the way i want.

i ran carfax on the car and nothing came up on it. not even a wreck. it qualified for the carfax buy back guarantee. so that makes me feel better.
