If I buy a stage 1 shortblock, can I just bolt on my existing heads with new gaskets and studs or do I need to get the heads redecked first? The engine has about 45k on it and is running great.
Ill have Pete from Intense Motorsports hit you up about a stage 1 long block DE..i just threw a rod there today.
how fast can you get me one to AZ?
We have a lot of engines being built currently, 3 weeks would be a good estimate.

You need to check them (or have them checked) for flatness on the deck mating surface. If they are out of spec you will have to have them machined.
