I like cheap

460brevill · September 12th, 2007, 08:58 AM

cheap is good,but only when its GOOD and cheap.

blackdragon · September 14th, 2007, 03:29 PM

it was kinda good it had an aftermarket eagle crank but the head is warped....

Horseshoeing · September 14th, 2007, 07:23 PM

You might want to get a better head.

460brevill · September 15th, 2007, 08:09 AM

get a 76 granada head.it has much bigger valves and a bigger intake runner.

Horseshoeing · September 15th, 2007, 09:17 AM

Should he get a better cam too?

460brevill · September 15th, 2007, 08:14 PM

i would go with a comp cam.call crane direct.tell them what you want and they grind it.

blackdragon · September 17th, 2007, 03:44 PM

i went ahead and took the liberty of calling crane and they told me it would take 2 months from all the other orders they have.so i think im gonna go ahead with a marine cam (more lift and duration).i might get a conversion kit for variable valve timing? and the head went straight to shelby hes making a head for my i-6 but its not cheap wow he want like 10k for one head.

460brevill · September 17th, 2007, 07:59 PM

get in touch with classicinlines.com they ha some super cams in stock.good price too.

blackdragon · September 18th, 2007, 10:51 AM

blackdragon · September 28th, 2007, 03:42 PM

im gonna try and fine a exhaust manifold.

460brevill · September 28th, 2007, 06:28 PM

did you try classicinlines?they have some good headers for the 200.

blackdragon · October 15th, 2007, 02:09 PM

yeah i tryed them but they wont fit my cylinder heads so i just went to a local shop and had them custom fit a set on there.

460brevill · October 16th, 2007, 07:49 AM

blackdragon · October 17th, 2007, 03:43 PM
