Lol nah if I buy anything it's going to be blower stuff. There a m122 with intake elbow and TB for sale over there for 400 and an intercooler, lower intake, and ported mid for 450. 850 bucks and I could have a lot of the parts. Very very tempting

Do you mean m112 because the 122 is for the shelby..just don't want you to buy the wrong lower intake..now the blower you could adapt to the lightning lower but just making sure

It's an M122 from a gt500, only 16k on it too. I thought the lower intake could have been different, I wasn't sure tho. So I could get or make adapter plates to fit the m122 on the lightning lower? I'm more than likely not going to get any of this yet I'm just curious

just dropped my jeeps cylinder head off at the machine shop. $35 to clean it and mag it, then $65 to resurface it.
the guy there said it could use a valve job, since the valve seats were pretty worn. he did say it would probably be just fine to put it back together as is, but to keep that in mind. that would be an additional $175, so that's not gonna happen, not yet.
he also strongly urged me not to use valve lapping compound, he said that if it was a race engine running leaded race fuel then it should be used but it's not a good idea to use it in my application. it's because of something to do with the lead grit or something like that. he said it would be better to use toothpaste if I was going to do it.
