We'll, it'll be a pretty respectable SN-95 that can hold it's own with some that most SN-95's can't when it's done though. I wish I could have a built motor like rantheman though, lol..

RE: What's going down with my 96..
Just reading thru this again and it looks like you are going to be doing your own P&P job? Surely this isn't right?
If you try to hand P&P a set of 2v heads all you are gonna end up with is a set of very heavy paper wieghts. If you have not done this before on the 2v engine you are likely to cost yourself power rather than make more.
Hell, there is a very experenced mustang shop by my dyno shop that wants to port my heads, but they have not done a 2v before, and I said no way. There are just too many specific things you need to know etc.
good luck.

We'll see how it goes. I'm doing the work with a friend of mine who's been building race motors for 20+ years on an indy car race team and has worked of Saleen, Roush and a bunch of other specialty car companys. He also said he knows a guy that owns a machine shop that'll help us with any bumps in the road we come across. We'll see what happens and I'll let everyone know...
