Team z is very reputable and they make awesome stuff. Price is spot on as well.
They have both drag style and auto x styles. The auto x style is gusseted and reinforced pretty well.

I’ve also been working on the motor and finishing up getting everything for my fuel system. I had TKM Performance do my machine work. They did a bore/hone 0.020” over, square deck, align honed the mains, balanced the rotating assembly, and jet-washed/de-burred the block. I brought it all back to the shop and assembled it. Here’s a rundown on the bottom end of the motor:
-‘96 Romeo block 0.020” over
-Cobra forged crank
-Manley Cobra Rods with ARP2000 rod bolts
-Wiseco -16cc dish pistons
-0.200” tool steel wrist pins
-King rod and main bearings
-ARP main studs and side bolts

Are you hiding the coils under the intake? that's genius! The color is awesome btw
I’m not a fan of blue but wow that color is killer! Love the build! Digging the shaved valve covers! Question? What fittings are those in the pcv ports, and did you just run them over from one another or do you have a catch can?
