Well, here's my plan.........I have an 83.5 westy who passed on about two weeks ago and am planning to rebuild her........The stuff I am leaning towards is as follows : the engine is coming from A V P in Sacramento, it will be the 1.9 to 2.1 conversion.........What do you all think ? I also will be doing the exhaust....was about to do the S& S headers High Flow deal and have them ceramic coated.......But some fella just wrote about how they are thin.........What would the consensus be on the exhaust ? I don't do the work on the car myself , I just drive the thing..........however the original engine lasted 250,000 MI and am hoping that what I am about to do will give me another Ten years of happy motoring ! |
