I am not (anytime soon) turbocharging it. I am just not wanting to deal with head issues. I went with the non-jet hydraulic head from clearwater. $460 shipped to my door here in Calgary, AB Canada. Factor in another $200 for ARP studs and the TEP gasket, and $100 for some machining, and i'm still pretty close to budget (this will make about $13K into the truck i wanted to build completely for $5K <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />).

Thanks for the tips on the freeze plug guys. it is the one towards the front of the block on the drivers side, since the head/intake will be off anyway, it shouldn't be too bad to get at. Hopefully i'll have a nice weekend within the next little while to get this done (no garage anymore <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />)

I haven't even driven it in 4 months but i'm gettin the bug again....
