Default RE: Project no hands

Bummer on the crack. I had my 1st one welded [brazed]. It was in the old wrecked mustang. I then put it the 89 forgetting that it was welded. Did't take long to remind me. The welding job was free and he told me it would be good just to test things. I know going to hate me. It reminds me I need to go get one in a junkyard that has only one bolt in it. Last time there bought the downpipe and 4 injectors off it for 8 dollars.

Yeah, I'm going to get it welded (both) and if they don't hold up I have enough money to buy a used bob's log

Twin cam, gotta cost major $$$$$$

Why?

You need custom pistons and a 1" (maybe 3") chunk of aluminum welded on and then have to get it mechined, then a DIS, custom, custom, custom. Maybe next wint I'll do it

[>:]

esslingers aluminum SVO head is making more power stock than a 16V volvo head swap. It is also a bolt on head[8D][8D]

Stock for stock
esslinger SVO head > 16V Volvo head
