I found a local person who was in the middle of a Firebird project who will consider selling just the engine parts for a reasonable price. I have concerns, however... The parts include:

- 557 block machined
- Butler stroker assembly: cast crank, Eagle SIR rods, Mahle pistons, file fit rings, flex plate
- 274 camshaft
- roller rockers
- Performer intake
- D port E heads, ported
- BOP mains and oil pan seals

My concerns are:
1. Don't know anything about the machine work
2. 557 block
3. SIR rods
4. Press pin rods, no going back
5. The heads were purchased bare but are now assembled... which means they would have required a valve job
6. Quality of port work
7. If it's a XE cam, Cliff will hate me
