For exhaust, how big is the EXMAG's piping? As for the CTR-Pistons, do they fit right in or do I need to do some modification? Would I need to resleeve my motor? And I will only be able to spend about $600 per month, so wat should I get first? Im thinking about I/H/E first, then Cams and Headwork, and then the pistons and rods, then lastly I would probably get a s200 and get it tuned, with the CTR pistons, wat octane gas should I run, my local gas station only offers 91.

Mr. Fat Booty, thanx a lot for the incredible amount of information, this will be my first time building up a motor, so If you guys have any tips, please type away.

I already bought the motor and now im saving up for some new engine mounts, A GS-R transmission, and all the belts and hoses. I think I would probably sell my 2000 LS and grab a old LS to drop the motor in.

About the motor, Is it safe for the motor to just sit on the ground? Because I dont have anything to hoist it up, its just laying on the groudn right now with the heads off, the valves look REALLY burnt, but i think that may just be normal, but the pistons has indents on it from the valves, it looks like they've been hitting or something, and cylinder 3 looks really clean, I think the head gasket is blown and it was burning coolant or something. I wish I knew more about the history of this motor, but its too late to do anything..
