Well now that Im done dancing around the room yelling "Stock"   :-)
Give me a ring, Ive been collecting parts for an alternative to  that
Darksider for the past 2 years and I just keep finding more and more  junk 
to
avoid out there.

Basically, Old stock... OEM or good  aftermarket, Berg stuff, and I was 
about
to ring the warning bell on  another Item...  The T4 world has lost the last
supply of suitable  94mm cylinders... it seems the Mahle kits, even though
they are still  labeled OEM quality, are using Chinese AA cylinders and they
are JUNK JUNK  JUNK!  That's what took out my first T4 build, warped  AA
cylinders.  It's a good thing Russ didn't live to see AA cylinders  in a
Mahle kit!

Not sure IF or WHEN they started putting them in the  1600 kits but look at
the base of the cylinder near the short fins, there  are a couple fins
bridged where the Chinese logo is cast or stamped in them  and its ground 
off
on the Mahle supplied units.

Which of the Fleet  is THIS engine for?

If it'll make you feel better, Jake will build you a complete new T-4  
motor for 15K (his cheapest). That engine uses ALL USA made parts. ;-)
