The heads are 4 valve per cylinder, but still use pushrods to actuate the valves. Here is the website for the heads if ya wanna take a look. http://www.araoengineering.com/Chevy/chevysmb.htm
Anywho, the guy in Vegas decided to sell the engine, and I bought it all torn down. I was going to build the engine for the 94 T/A, and along the way I had some massive machine work done to the block, such as adding a main stud girdle, a piston oiling system, deck plugs, totally blueprinting the block. etc. But I ran outa bux, and ended up selling the T/A. But I held on to the engine, since it was a work in progress, and I knew there wouldn't be much interest in an unproven combination. Everything kinda sat for a while, until I met an engine builder named Bret Bauer a few years back. Bret is a very progressive guy, and he is basically doing an R&D job on the engine, reworking what needs to be worked and solving whatever problems may arise. Once the combo is all sorted out I'm going to install the engine in my 73 AMX, and hopefully have a very unique and bad azz machine.

sounds interesting, lookin forward to hearin how that works out wen its done be sure to post about it
