I bought a kit off of Ebay that dresses up the stock engine cover. Let me know what you think! The new exhaust manifolds are on and if you compare these to what is currently in your Crossfire you will see that the stock exhaust will bolt up.

I really believe this engine has extreamly low miles. When I did the car fax it came back as 147 miles which I didn't believe. When I removed the valve covers everthing was pristine like it was just assembled even the inside of the valve cover didn't even have any oil stain discoloration.
After seeing the engine, I wish it had been a hyper option on XFire. I personally would rather have the cubes than the boost as the SRT option.
