Since OP is updating this ad with heads for a longblock sale, please add a new price for the longblock sale. Verification photos should be added as well.

Nope just stock cams, heads were just cleaned, resurfaced and OEM valves were relapped and installed new Ferrea valve stems and Brian Crower valve springs and retainers. Asking $600 for both heads if your local otherwise I'd have to get an estimate for shipping.

Yes I take PayPal and I have the OEM caps still so no worries!

Just wondering, Why did you MAX out the Bore on the Cylinders @ 100mm's?
Now if you scuff a cyl wall it will need to be resleeved.

Hello! That's a true statement, however at the event and rate and what I was going through, that was the only option I had, it was a lot of miscommunications with the machine shop and i had already ordered pistons to fit so in the end, I was stuck with 100mm's. So at that point of it being too late. It was go big or go home, I had intentions of making big power, made 447whp @15 psi, then realized the single turbo set up and my injectors were limiting me, etc. Etc. Etc. Pretty much I dumped a lot of money , too much money to turn back, and I spun a bearing which luckily was the only thing that got damaged, and although it's a cheap fix, the money I've invested prior to this was enough to the point where I should just stop, therefore I sold the car, now I'm engaged and I got myself a Lexus GS350 😬 (just stuck which a bunch of old Z parts now)

Take this the right way -

I've never seen a sleeved block work out long term and when the flour hits the fan fixing/repairing the sleeve and piston is beyond the benefit of the cost. So you take a big risk with an expensive buy-in, a (relatively) high probability of failure, and a high cost to remedy for 3/10th of a liter additional engine displacement.

the VQ world has changed quite a bit and anyone with funds aren't putting them into a 350z / 370z, hell - even the GTR is becoming mainstream.

If I were you - I'd plan on literally (or figurately) giving it away or having one-hell of a coffee table

with that being said good luck with the sale - I truly hope you find a good home for it

...

(and now let me talk out of the other side of my mouth) - I've been keeping an eye on it and I may be interested if it doesn't sell and you want to throw me the insane deal on it!

and free bump … get some convo started on this
