Default Head question

is it possible to fit cobra heads on a 97GT?
what is needed to fit them if possible?
otherwise what heads do you suggest to boost performance?

they will git, but it will lower your compression drastically due to the size of the combustion chambers.
you will need the timing chains, cover accesory brackets etc.....
your best bet would be PI heads. they bolt right up, and with smaller combustion chambers, they increase compression and make great power.

Just saw your signature uvBottles97GT.pretty interesting number.what kind of cam do you have?

but with this set up if you decide to put a blower the compression ratio will be to much no?
just wondering.

going from 2V to 4V costs the same or more than just finding a 4V engine.
