Video of first try startup IMG_1208.mp4 video by netnews - Photobucket
edit; 6/10/16 -- dynoed 453 ft-lbs & 405hp on e85, ran out of fuel.. more to come
Background:
Daily driver
Fast forward to Easter 2011, started using large amounts of oil -- no smoke
priced out a stock motor rebuild from motorworks, $4,000
Acquired a spare head ($250) and block ($500)
Searched others builds and this is the upgrade list I came up with after talking to MAP decided on
Feedback on MAP
communication = fair (oh it shipped, 10 days later-- still no gaskets)
price = good
shipping time = 6 weeks (paypal sent 6/9/11 gaskets received 7/20/11
If your car was DOWN like mine, I wouldn't recommend ordering from MAP
picked up a almost new southbend stage 3 clutch https://www.srtforums.com/forums/f213/hope-i-dont-regret-southbend-stage-3-clutch-612246/
slightly used struts

My all in ~$1500, considering i can resell my block head etc..
I found these rebuild links very helpful
