Okay. I think I'm going to order that and a new set of headlights instead of the corbeau's, my stock headlights have seen much better days.

Haven't checked rotm. And call me crazy, I like the stock headlights. I've tried everything on mine but half the crap is on the inside, they are so beat up, a new pair for $80 on ebay isn't too bad.

I'll keep my stockers and give them a shot. Worst that happens is I put the stockers back in.

New developments on the motor I picked up.

It says RWD on the flywheel side of the block. So that means its a 4.2L RWD block correct?

Im going to get an engine stand on monday or somethign so I can drain the oil and take the oil pan off.

Only ****ty part is that the engine came with nothing, no flywheel, crank pulley, water pump, etc.

I was thinking of fixing the head gasket(if that is the only problem) then mounting the M112 on top.

Itll just be the run of the mill forged/full P&P 4.2/M112 combo. Nothing too special.

Run of the mil, however there aren't too many floating around here, and even elsewhere still not a ton. I would definitely throw the blower on there instead of the 3.8 but I'd put the motor in first and run it for a little just to make sure its all up to snuff.

I agree. I swapped out my chrome stock headlights for the stock black housings from an '03.
