Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

[tmosser]

well i found a complete 2.3 longblock for sale, with paper work warranty etc from a shop in GA, BUT its a evo 8 motor. What would I need to do to keep mivec? I could always just sell the built head and slap my mivec head on but id like to keep the built one and also since I am worried the head on my car may be the problem. Could I tap into it and put the mivec lines on it? Is that something map could do for me?


edit: just called map out of curiosity. He said I could Use my mivec head, take the springs valves retainers out of the build 8 head BUT i would have to keep my mivec cams (fine by me) the only thing I wouldnt be able to use is the actual evo viii head which is ported and such. But still sweet I could just swap all the parts into my 9 head
