              Possibly. I like the SR20's color better. really pops. Which is nice, considering 90% of the M30 block is masked by a gallon sized starter, and a stupid as fuck intake design. SO the bits that will show, will look like a sex machine in the shadows. ;)

                How many miles were on it?  Just curious, the M20 in the picture had somewhere over 280k and still had no ridge , only about .003 wear towards the bottom.  The shop I had inspect, tank, and hone it was very impressed, he said a 350 chevy will have a big ridge at 150k lol.  And the m52 I did had 215k and the crosshatching was still there.  I don't have a good pic of the M20 but this is the M52.  And both of these had overheated from a cracked head.

                                  Exhaust or intake? Exhaust, I'm putting my down payment on my tubular exhaust manifold once my wheels sell. Intake is getting modified. Factory m30 intake Mani is poorly designed

                                    Its not a bad design IMO.  Manifold inlet is centered for best chance of equal cylinder filling, Long runner length to improve low+midrange power (turbo can take care of top end power ), Equal length (if not very close to equal length) runners. Im a fan of flipping the TB position though

                                      I'm flipping it. An stock manifold goes over exhaust? Poor design... Just sayin.. :)

                                        Did you get the block hot tanked and the cylinders re-crossed hatched?  Spill the beans!!
