let me tell you something.... make sure the compression in good.

NEVER buy an sr with a blown headgasket. or u suspect of it. why?

because the block is aluminum. do you know what happens when the block overheats and melts the gasket? it melts alot more lol. i seen a few blocks trashed. but hey, if u want light weight its the way to go versus iron block.

sr is great, but if u overheat it ur fucked 70% of the time. if not a cometic gasket is 90 bux, head resurfaced about 200, your personal time putting it in - 400 at least.

the point is make sure u triple check the condition of an engine. especially in a moded car that probably was run hard
