What's the plan with it? Full send or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes it more convenient now that I can build a long engine rather than a short engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you got it cheap it's worth it, much more money and you're better off using atomic stainless valves in an na head. I'd better go back and read the previous pages to remind myself what you're up to again Edited 05/07/23 12:12 PM by Puffwagon Added an s to pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox1972 Member 47 Member For: 6y 6d Posted 05/07/23 12:16 PM Author Share Posted 05/07/23 12:16 PM Nah your fine...That's why I bought it. Mainly for the head. It would have cost me....anywhere between 800-1200 dollars for incotel valves for the standard head. I figured it was cheaper as the nearest cheapest turbo head was around $1200 on average. I got the exhaust as well.....😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not long till it's ready to go ay? Much wait at the machine shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gonna chuck that exhaust on now or wait till the new engine is ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox1972 Member 47 Member For: 6y 6d Posted 05/07/23 12:41 PM Author Share Posted 05/07/23 12:41 PM It will go on in a few months as well as a Jonny Tig cooler and a few other bits. Then I'll get clint at profile to retune it. They will be used on the new engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
