well it's petty much completed.. we swapped in a z6 head on the y7 block.. everythings seems to be working.. the only thing is vtec isn't hooked up.. and i ghetto rigged my y7 distributor on there untill i could find a z6 distributor. I drove it around without vtec it did have a little more kick on the top end.. but i lost power on the lowend due to the lower compression. Everything seems to be fine it idles at 800-1000rpms which is roughly okay.. but back to the point it still makes that really windy sound when i drive.. like the earlier post i think it's the water pump bearing.. but i am not too sure.
