did your cooper head fit on ok? i was told you didnt have to pocket the block, people just do it because they think you have to... lol, ive been told by a few people that it just fits on, so im not going to pocket mine tehee!

lol yep went on fine, i got mine converted to unleaded and new seats and all that, only worry is that it's been skimmed in the past, so we're hoping it hasn't been skimmed too much guess we'll have to wait and see lol

got one or two more pics to add tonight...
