Re: Z6 Block w/ Y8 Head
Yeah, I was told it was a cheap easy way to gain compression and horsepower especially since the whole motor is currently apart. The big question on my mind is how well will all of this work out, when it comes to modifying ---- I have pretty much been restricted to my DSM simply because of the amount of modification you can get for the money.
