Happy belated birthday. :hbd: :band: :beerchug:

Well...I got an e-mail from the company that has the 'complete cylinder head'. With all the trimmings it comes up to $2242.50... Here's a picture...

Just tell them you're from Canada... :rofl:

Order from here... :cool:

Too easy...besides...from other folks who have done this swap, they still get around 25 miles per gallon. Try that with a 572...

I discovered that the new head doesn't come with an intake manifold, and my existing manifold won't work with the new head, so I went out searching, and I found an intake manifold...a new intake manifold... :clap: Then I saw the price... 1690 Euros...which comes out to over 2100 USD...

BTW...this is what the engine compartment looks like...which is why there will be no intercooler if I can get the scratch to pull this off...

:P :ladiesman :spit:

YEESHBAH :ladiesman

Did somebody say Sweet Whipped Cream? *Sprays Redi-whip down Leslie's pants... :eyebrow2: :angel:

Actually, the gasket comes with the 'complete' cylinder head. The one question I really have before plunging into this is...will I be able to get this all together, and working, with that budget. Most likely not, but it's a real nice dream. ;) :smoke:

It's not sour whipped cream...it's whipped sour cream. Goes with baked potatos, but, since I don't want to bruise, I'll just use mashed... *Douses Leslie with freshly mashed, and buttered, potatoes...

Because it's hard-wired to do the job specific to the standard motor/head combo. I'm going to be building 'Frankenstein', so I need an A.B.Normal brain. One that can, basically, adjust and compensate for the new head, and fuel distrobution system.

Just found out I'd have to replace the ECU as well. This looks like it's really going to cost, as the 'new' ECU will cost more than twice the price of the head. :banghead: I'll also need a new fuel injector system... :banghead: Let's whip out the handy calculator and see what this...

*innocently pushes Leslie towards the pit. :D :eyebrow2:

Just invest in Octane 104 with each tank of fuel...

Hmmm...Guess that Canadian constitution was just so much hot air... :D

I wasn't too keen on the intercooler because I don't have a lot of room under the hood. I'm just looking for as close to 300HP as I can get without getting too expensive. The cylinder head is gonna cost big, though...around $750...but that's a complete head with the more aggressive cams...

Hmmm...since nobody is here, I think I'll dig a nice, deep pit, fill it with whipped sour cream, and spray the entir floor, except where I'm standing, with cooking oil. Let prof's nekkid, wrinkled, fuzzy body run through that... :roll:
