Well, I bought an Aussie 2V head. If all goes well (the machine shop says it isn't cracked) it should be here in a few weeks. I've decided that if I am going to do this, I am going all out. This means lots of modifications and lots of questions.
1) What is a good compression ratio to run if I am going to be running pump gas (91 octane) with hardened valve seats?
2) Is the Comp 260H the right cam for this application?
3) I know I saw them here awhile back, but is it still possible to get my hands on a gear drive set?
4) What kind of pistons should I run?
5) I also saw something here awhile back about having to put SBF valves in the OZ head. What kind of modifications need to be made?
6) I also saw something here about roller rockers. Is it still possible to get ahold of these?
7) Last but not least, exhaust. If I run 6-2 heads into dual 2 inch pipe, what kind of mufflers should I run? I currently have a single Flowmaster 40 Series with a stock exhaust manifold and a single tail pipe. It sounds pretty mean at idle (and it doesn't sound like rice when I hit the gas). I would like a fairly "mean" sound. If I'm turning my regular six into a super six, I want it to sound the part.
People who have done OZ head swaps, please feel free to PM me. I'd really like to get some information from people who have first hand experience with this swap.
Also, I am looking for parts. If you have some, or know where I can get them, please let me know. I may be looking for a block, crank, and rods to use to build the new motor.
Thank you for all your help. I've resisted the temptation of the dark side.
