I already posted that....
all you guys are commenting on these ams short blocks and jam blocks but those require a core. his crank is prob wiped out from the spun bearing and i wouldnt want to re-use that oil pump after metal shavings went through it
the 2.3 build requires a new front cover with oil pump.. and also new oil cooler..
we WILL NOT put an engine together that spun a rod bearing using the same oil cooler... there is metal in there you will never get out..
Tom was a pleasure to speak too, very open about his goals... asked alot of questions, and ultimately we feel he will end up with a great package!!
glad we could help! adding more JAM to the evolutionm.net dinner table!

I need to mention about the oil pump, front cover, cooler. to make sure they know they need to replace them.
And see what all i have to pay out my pocket, since the KAM block is a little bit more then the OEM one.
Who knows maybe i get lucky and they are willing to claim it all under there insurance/warranty
