Head should be here this week(I hope).
I'm also thinking of switching to a FP red or black...Not too sure yet.
Also, new oem knock, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant temp, coolant gauge senors came in...New sensors cost an arm and leg -_-

**Update**
I received the head from the shop but it arrived damaged(broken water nipple), shop will fix it with a threaded nipple at no cost.
Ordered the clutch, OEM master gasket kit, few misc bits. Picked up a bushur ported exhaust mani for cheap also.
Block and all the parts minus head, clutch, and gaskets has been dropped of to Nick @ M.R. Performance. He will assemble the engine and time it for me to drop back into the car. I don't trust myself to play with the timing. -_-.
Hopefully everything is completed by the end of January and I'll being putting it back in around early February.
Hopefully I can break 400 AWHP on the mustang dyno with 93 oct
and I almost forgot, BBK Full has been sent to Tyler Gennari for inspection/cleaning/rebuild.

So I received the head last month and it arrived damages, water nipple broke during shipping. I originally ordered billet s2 cams but when I received the head it didn't look like billet cams and didn't really think anything of it. I sent the head back to get the water nipple repaired and ask the shop to confirm the S2 cams were installed, they said yes.
Got the head back(2nd time) from the shop, First time I saw when opening the box was the GSC cam card, now I'm thinking they sent me the paper work for the cams. When I crack the head packaging open I notice the cams were now black and my old cams in the GSC box. They made a honest mistake and forgot to install them. After removing the head completely from the packaging I notice the entire bottom of the head was covered in SODA from the blasting, I was really pissed. Exchange a few emails with the shop and shipped it back out to them for cleaning. They are going to port the head for me for a couple of bucks because of the issues.(80% discount).
Once the head is received I can assemble the motor and begin the next phase.
