i just checked car-part.com and there are complete a4's in pensacola for 499-500. Not bad especially since you plan on using tsx internals. If you don't want the head. Tell johnny to take the exhaust rockers from the a4 head and make a high compression 2.0l vtec killer with my old a3 that had an a1 head if he didn't scrap it already. I never saw the damage to the valve guides, but if they survived he had the makings of a 2.0L beast just sitting around.
