Got some major engine bling from Nathan last week:
Just waiting on some minor parts to get the head together (got the wrong Ferrea lash caps - for some reason they list the depth of the recess in the cap, but not the thickness added to the valve stem height, not even the overall height so you could subtract out the depth of the recess. I just sort of assumed that the only measurement offered (other than 7mm stem diameter) was the height added. But no. And the place I bought them from says special order, no returns. FML. VAC motorsports says their 7mm X 4mm lashcaps actually add 4mm, but then they want $9 a piece for them. Argh.).
So, in other words, close enough to start taking the car apart. Me ripping into a perfectly fine 300whp motor:
Any interest in a stock 16V head and 8V intake on an adapter, all 3 well ported to match the shapes? Oh, and the 8V manifold has an N/A (larger) 850 throttle body on it, bigger, shorter (for clearance in a 240 vs. the master cylinder), and a proper TPS for Megasquirt. I guess I'll toss up a FS post soon.
