Yeah. Im starting to think the whole TT 5.1 4v is not going to happen becuase i cant justify spending that kind of money even if i had it. What i may do and more realistically can do is i need a new bottom end becuase my engine has 125,000 on it right now. I am looking at still the 5.1 stroker short block with forged everything and then just port my heads and swap everything over to the new bottom end. I am looking at an aftermarket intake and cams as well so anywhere upwards of 300 would make me happy. I might throw a 150 shot on there becuase everything is forged and then later in life add on a vortech or something. Idk. Just throwing around ideas. Still wanna finish building up the suspension (6 point roll cage, full coil overs, tubular k member and a arms, etc)

Alright then it looks like sending in your heads to be ported FTW! I will do new lifters and things with the new cams
