I love the GE kits very complete and very simple. HAve used over a dozen with no hangups/problems. Maybe a little pricier, butwell worth it. Check out www.lightningmotorsports.com or call 1.800.478.0952. Ask for Mica tell him Jeff from jackson sent ya. They keep these kits in stock. Super nice ppl to deal with too.

little info on our kits

1 year warranty on all hardware. Head gaskets i cant warranty but we tell all our dealers to work with customer to take care of them.

1. BlackWorks Vtec Conversion Sandwich Plate with a -6AN fitting for the plate and head.
2. BlackWorks -6AN steel braided teflon hose for oil supply
3. BlackWorks Vtec Conversion Dowels for proper alignment for the head to block without machining
4. BlackWorks 1/8 NPT tap and plug for the oil port in the head
5. BlackWorks worked factory head gasket in 81MM, 84MM size's only. Dowel holes opened for proper installation

can you come up with anything on your own or do you just copy other shops hard work?
shops like blalckworks are a joke they take other shops hard work and make cheep copy's most made over seas with cheep material and poor quality control. shops like this give our industry a bad rep. look at all blackworks products every thing they make is a direct copy of some other shops hard work please do not support shops like them it can only be a bad thing for all involved
