Good luck also. But checkout Bopart Forum on recommendation. The way I read find a old carb, d-port, non-heart shape, and put in turbo valves or a 4plug NA head and modify. I assume get rid of heart shape combustion chamber. Here is link where I read it. Good luck. I tested 3 heads and 2 cracked. http://www.boportforum.proboards.com...splay&thread=8

That would be ok if guanteeded crack free. Otherwise I would go another way. I got my head at a pull a part for I think 45 dollars and then had it redone.

Pull a 2.3 N/A head. (carb model if you can but D-port will work) grinding the heart shape into more of a D shape and put in turbo vales... good to go
