Thread: Got a cylinder head today

Tweet

Oh yeah, the Merc Zephyr I got the head from, the front fenders have neat cable controlled side vents, probably for interior venting. I might pull the fenders, when I go back, cut them out and graft them into the falcon's fenders, and make it somehow ( they do it with vac, so could probably be done with boost ) to have them open when the boost comes up, and have secondary intake tubes coming in from them, or at least 1 side. I have to repair the falcon fenders anyway..

I'm glad you finally got a head....and you cant beat that price... heads here at our junkyards are $75 a piece.... good luck gettin that baby together.... remember that even though time is tight not to start rushing and getting sloppy

I know. I'm cleaning the head up today, to save time, dissasembeling tomorrow. I'v got 12 new valves, so I won't have to cut the 1's in the head. should go togther ( the head ) in a week or so. I'm going to bring the Turbo home, and fabricate the 2 plates I have to, for the internal wastegate bypass, and the 3 bolt flange where the turbo used to bolt to the manifold, I have to make a flange that has a 2" pipe coming off it.

cool sounds like a good sunday afternoon project
