I think that is a great idea! many people just cant afford to go all out at once and if they can see it work on somewhat of a budget then it could help us all out quite a bit! I know that the most expensive way isnt always the best way, so if there is hard numbers to back it all up that makes it all sweeter!

I like the idea a lot. Are you going to try to build the motors to a specific dollar amount or go for a horsepower # or 1/4 mile time?

This is the best idea Ive heard in awhile.The only bad thing is you'll be done with both engines and running and mine will still be on jackstands  |

watching this build. I have a 2vlave and am considering switching to DOHC in a couple years. Will my short block work or do I have to change the pistons out? I have Manley 18CC dished pistons.
Thanks

also do you think the headers would crossover?

you will need 10 cc or 11cc pistons you will also need 4 valve headers |

^^^^^^ We can build rockets to put men on the moon 40 years ago......... But you still cant find boost controllers (electronic) that are EASY to setup/adjust... I'll never touch or sell another E-boost....ever... So we used a AEM tru-boost on a customers car,we laminated the instructions and zip tied them to the rollcage.So what does the customer do?? Removes it to do the interior and looses it |
