  • Hey GreatSchlotsky

    This was the fate of your heads if you ever wondered.

    Dang dude, sorry to hear that. When I first started reading I was worried the heads caused the havoc. Sounds like you're getting her back on track though, even if the build is not what you had first hoped for. Good luck with the FINAL build, and sorry to hear things haven't worked out too well so far. Third time's a charm, right? ;)

        I did, yeah. It sounded incredible! That has to be the meanest sounding six I've heard. Even without the heads, the cam lope is awesome.

        It's too bad the heads didn't get to see their full potential but they got further than they were getting with me :P

          Yeah I really wanted to see numbers with them. CincyBird's GT2 cammed car made 220 RWHP with NO head work. I was curious where those heads would put me, guessing 240-250 RWHP range. Still have them, they just need another set of those exhaust valves $$$$$$. THey are starting to rust though.

            Yeah, I think that all would have come together pretty nicely. I finished those heads and was saving for a cam/rockers/pushrods/etc when I totally scrapped the project. If you do ever decide to throw them on, I'd definitely have the guides checked out. They may have gotten some damage from the valves bending. As for the rust, it can't hurt to spray some WD-40 on the bare metal to keep the rust off.

              Yeah I was definitely planning to, I originally on the new build was wanting to get them back together but didn't want to pay for the machine shop

                Glad too hear you're not too discouraged. I would be if I were in your shoes. Good luck with your build.

                Are those Abbott heads?
