Default im stoked! got my setup now......

just got a complete cobra top end for free today, gt40 heads, cobra intake, 1.7rr, cobra headers. this should be a nice upgrade over stock- sinc it didnt cost me a penny, although i will pay to get the heads milled(how much do you advise) and give them a light p+p job myself. will my stock pushrods be the same length as cobra units? next up---paxton novi 1000..............
