Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

[tmosser]

Well I talked to chucke and he said he put a new head on my car. So I guess we'll see when I have the shop test it.

Are the evo 8 and 9 valves interchangeable? If so the head I got with the motor has fresh valvetrain including valves so if they are ill probably throw the new valves on my ix head as well. Than seals come with the oem gasket set so if the head isnt warped or anything serious itll pretty much be a brand new head when its done.
