What now? I just want to fix this engine, i know i will be replacing both gaskets, and i want to have a valve job done while the heads are off. What else should i look into? New rings? What about rotating assembly? Motor has high miles but isnt hurt, but i dont wanna go as far as doing both head gaskets and not freshen it all the way, if not improve on what I have. Dont wanna go forced induction, maybe some nitrous down the road. Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Blew a head gasket

If I had high miles on the motor already I would consider doing a full rebuild. The head gaskets would just be an excuse for better internals. At least for me.
Yea I feel the same way. I was looking into the livernois 298 stroker, what else would i need if i were to purchase this kit?
For a N/A or Nitrous application, I would recommend our 10.8:1 Stroker Assembly.
We also recommend a replacement oil pump (Ford Racing or Melling), ARP Head Studs, Flexplate or Flywheel Bolts, and Balancer Bolt, Cometic Head Gaskets, Permatex Spray-A-Gasket Copper Spray, and our Crankshaft Scraper. You'll also need an 8-bolt flexplate or flywheel.
Thank you

i just had mine done...it is not cheap to have a shop do it...you def. dont wanna have just head gaskets put on and then pay for the labor again for them removing the motor to do it all again...btw you can't do the head gaskets in the car it is a pain in the ass the motor has to come out...you can save yourself a lot of money if you can pull the motor yourself and take it somewhere to have it done
That was the plan. BTW, is this Nazir?
