yea, S2 and Springs/retainers. Don't think I need anything else.

Curt brown OEM ported 70mm intake manifold(freshly ported) nd Full blown 70mm TB(NEW). This combo should be good for 850hp but I'm not shooting for the skies

If you have a blown motor like that, it is best practice to delete oil cooler or change the entire oil cooler assembly completely
It is almost impossible to properly clean the oil cooler after a motor have blown up

Gotcha, I got a new STM oil cooler kit along with OEM oil filter housing, oil pick, etc. Not taking any chance on the new motor.

**Update**

I ordered Strictly Stage 1 head(going to ship core this weekend), GSC S2 cams, L19 head studs, and a ton of OEM nut/bolts today. Just a few more parts to order and I can put her back together!
