Scorp- I know you are busy at Area-51 working on the secret "GIANT LASER" but I need a quick tip here- THROW ME A FRIGGIN BONE.
as Dr. Evil would say.

Looks like a giant..........Richard?

Okay, first, do I need to change the stock springs if I run the LPE 219, if so, what part and # do I use.

Second- I got some Crane 1.6 RR- do I need to change the pushrods? If so, what part and #

Third- Do you have the cam card and installation instructions for the 219?

So far I have these parts sitting on my toolbench:

1. Polished SR
2. LPE 219
3. Taylor 8mm wires
4. Hypertech Coil\Cap
5. Crane 1.6 RR


I think all I need are the answers to the above questions, and a timing chain and all the necessary gaskets.

Let me know what I am forgetting in this project.

(I know I have to cut out the valve covers, but i may buy the chromies from SDC.

I will send Minnie Me over to help out with the "GIANT LASER" or hump your leg.

Buhaaaaahhaaabuhaaaa!

Dr. Evil

1. Absolutely
2. Get hardened pushrods and guideplates.
3. Don't have the card, install it straight up.

I sent you an email with an Excel spreadsheet in it. It has nearly every part I installed the first time through. Hope it helps. Where it says "bought through LPE" that means I bought whatever it was at Lingenfelter.
