Uh..guess I missed something huh? That stock block would be the short block.
Heads were heavily massaged late-model smog heads w/oversized valves and roller
rockers w/screw-in studs and guideplates. You got me! Oh yeah - I still have
the heads cause they breathed better than any that I've ever had (sold the
rockers - they were pretty wore out 8)

But I promise - thats the only "non-Mopar" thing(s) in my garage! (The vette is
stored somewhere far away!)

Latr,
