Starting a thread to show my next mod log build. My E0 head should be in in a couple days and I'm going to start milling/drilling.
I held off on building a set of headers for my current head because I knew they wouldn't work with this head I've been dreaming up.
Plan to date is to mill log off which will eliminate the original exhaust mounting surface.
Order of operation.
1.) mag particle test for cracks
2.) remove log and mill curbside of head flat. make integral flange(stainless steel) with mounting studs and fasten to head.
3.) port, unshroud oversized valves, polish chambers
4.) mag particle test again for good measure before I get too deep.
5.) make intake manifold(aluminum), work out synchronous carb linkage(if i go 2-2V route, outlined later)
6.) send out for finish machining to achieve proper CC of combustion chamber and have valves/seats finished.
7.) Install head in car and fabricate headers(stainless steel, this will be a FULL weekend job with materials/ equipment ready)
I'm on the fence as far as carburetion. Current thoughts are 2) .98 2100s with separate manifolds to the front bank and the rear bank of cylinders or a single manifold for a hollel 390cfm four barrel.
Thoughts?
Input throughout is always appreciated.
