Wow. Thats a little hectic.

ugh, i still disagree with this. The only positive thing i see you getting out of this is the xp, but I guess when u think about xp is very important if you havent tinkered with engines b4. Again i think its a waste of money, i would rather see you build it for a boost project rather than an n/a setup. I'm not tryin to b a d!ck or a downer but I'm just trying to look out for ya. Anyways im still interested in the build and look forward to the progress you make. GL and hope you find a cheap short block. O you should also paint that VC to match your exterior paint.

As for the valve cover I'm not sure. I was thinking black because my CAI is blue. So a red VC and blue intake would look weird I'm assuming.

Update: Found a z6 short block complete for about the same price as the one i bought with the bad block. Picking it up Sunday since it only has 100k on it. After I get this my focus will turn to buying parts for the build and lowering my car.
Bought everything to paint the molding, side skirts and lip. I'm waiting for a day off work and some decent weather to motivate me.
Also, ordered a new glove box handle, c pillar bar and wink mirror. Should be here Friday or Monday.
