a while back i started 1st stage of my aba 8 valve vw build and that is to buy the parts i needed. the whole plan is to swap a 2 liter block in while doing that it will bump my cr to 10.5 to 1 from 8.someshit to 1cr that it was at when i got it. since i am bumping cr i thought why not free up the head a bit, i bought bigger valves and all the other parts needed.... my car came with a header and cam, i need to mod the header because the new block is taller.
