Default Yeah haw! Nice start to the swap
Well I'm picking up a LS(a1) swap at my local pick and pull for 150 this saturday after work. I was looking around on eGay and found these and thought these would go for a boat load but holy ----! I can't believe I won these!!!! I'm so pumped!! 230ish shipped for eagle rods and srp slugs. 10.1 CR but I'll just get a cometic headgasket to drop it down some but hell b16's are already in the 10's and people have no problems so I may rock it the way it is and see if I have any problems with tuning it with the 10.1 cr.

Just got an email back from JE and they go for 110 each if it's turns out to be too bad. I'm not too worried though.

watch your timing with high compression and boost, my sohc was 11.1 - 11.5 compression and 10psi on a 60/63 t3 kept blowing headgaskets.

D's are known for blowing headgaskets though. B's don't have headlifting problems
