dansedgli Member 214 Member For: 20y 3m 12d Posted 03/09/07 05:02 AM Share Posted 03/09/07 05:02 AM Agreed. There is no point in trying to fit a twin cam head to an earlier block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Late model camira girls follow each other around like sheep, same mods, same this same that. I like to be diffrent and simply have a few ideas do BE diffrent but people seem to think its stupid, no reason, dosent make sense. Maybee not, But could you imagine if the car industry was made up of one make and that was holden? Every one would be driving a bloody commodore!!!

Mate the reason the fellas above are saying forgot about it is the sheer cost and time required to develop something like that. All of the water pockets, gaskets, timing gears, intakes..... all will not line up. In short you would have to re-engineer the head or the block. The recommendation of throwing even a standard barra engine is not a bad idea. Cheap for one, but power wise 180kw vs 120ish for an eb-ed 4.0l, would be good fun and lets be real, theres not a lot of eb-ed's headn around with decent power / falcon engines.Good luck none the less and yes, it is good to have something a little different.

Being different is good. Going slower as a result is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
