hottapper,
If you know Jeff Prince you must be around the Corpus Christi area. I had E H Green Motors put a new long block in mine and thier work was excellent. I learned a hard lesson, I also pushed the stock turbo over 50 psi and blew the gasket between 2 and 3 causing it to cut a groove in both the head and block, thus a new long block. Boost pressure in the low 50's is fine without studs, but with the stock turbo at that level your drive pressure is upwards of 70 psi, that will destroy the head gasket.
