Why are you expecting the numbers (hp) so low? I would think that set up will get you more the 150whp. I'm curious to find out the results.

 

[Magana559]

I would much rather aim low that too high....dont wanna get my hopes up and all.

Agreed I would rather be pleasantly surprised too. I thought I read this already but are you building the bottom to take the B16 head if you want?

 

[Magana559]

Yep, The LS head will only be on untill the B16 head is built. After that I will make this bad bitch a LS-V!

 

[Magana559]

Got my $65 shipped Ebay header! Holy shit! Its WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!

 

[CAFROG]

Yeah.....looks like tig welding from a machine. You can tell by the size of the 'dimes' stacked on top of one another. Funny how jigs have been taken to this level now. They can pop out tons of these with a machine and a CAD program. I remember working for my cousin (summers in college) welding those 'dimes' with a mig welder. We built Wake Board Towers for boats....custom one-off towers specializing in family I/O boats (b/c the only ones for them are pretty ugly and ours looked sick). It was fun and taught me a lot about bending/shaping pipe. Building a roll cage would be a cake walk after dozens of one-off towers we built. But welding at 3pm on a CA summer day was a pain in the a$$...although heading to the river after work to Wake Board and drink Beer made it all better!

 

[Magana559]

yep its def machine welded. but the welds are nice and clean, welded on the inside and out. It was also cleaned up on the inside by the seller. I just poped it out of the box and took pics.

Also traded my 17" Konig helium's for 15" buddy club P1's

Is that crank 'balanced' for your setup or the prev owner?
It might not work like you expect..

If it was lightened for H-beams and forged pistons, it might be way off.
Hope not.
