You are right down the road too. The only thing that will hold me back is I really am looking for the kidney/heart shaped chamber.

I will think about it though.

96258 is my old APO zip, I am in fairfax

I have a pair of grand national turbos that I will run some exhaust pipe from some shorty headers to above the frame rails where the turbos will be.

I grew up in Fairfax (well if you ask my wife she will say I am still not grown up) I graduated from W.T. Woodson.
I want to see this when you are done. I may need to take some pages from your book if I do it. We should turn up some beers and swap stories sometime. On a side note have you heard about the foreign vs. domestic race @ MIR? They are having it on the 6th of November. I just heard about it the other day.

My vette is in NY completely unsuitable for the road. I need to fix the brakes and a host of electrical demons, and some tuning issues before it will see the road.

The Summit brand heads (SUM-152123) , actually made by Dart I believe, have the kidney shaped cumbustion chambers you seek. I have a pair going on my Vette in November.
