The thing about the z1 head is that it will give super high compression (~12.3:1 CR) because the z1 has a very small combustion chamber and very dished pistons. You might be able to do it with premium gas, which I've been considering, but Iono. Anyway, yeah, mpfi, dizzy, ecu, la la la.

8 valve goodness will be noted when I get mine done. I just talked to my employer, over the next two weeks I"ll prolly get 125-150 of work time in, so it'll def get done. Just gotta buy the ish, dad's bring my c clamp valve compressors tomorrow, :p

Good for you! 125-150 hours? Wow. Congrats on finding work, that's what i need. :o

Dollars, damn, 75 hours a week is nuts. It's just a random job I've had for a while.

Ben, is that a b7 head on it or b8? which is going on there? Is the bottom of the engine sstill from your stock 16 valve?

better than no dollars. :D

The b7 head is just a donor, the b8 will be going on, and the block will stay stock b2.

It still has the b2 head on there then? You got 59.? mpg with a 16 valve?!

b2 is on there, I've not gotten 59 to a tank, my best segment is still just 59.3, :p

And you have an si mpfi im on there? Don't you need an hf one?

If I wanted to go mpfi, i would need the si one, but then couldn't hook that up to an 8 valve if i decided to swap heads later, huh?

I have dan's I think, the rather neutral manifold. The funny thing about 8 valve stuff is that it's almost always free, like everything I have that came off an 8 valve engine that I own, :p
