philcas1987 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 So you're driving it up tommorow right? Cannot show up without a 510. Must be exciting . A new head. Quote Link to comment

Sealik Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Any info on the head work.....? Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Full valve job, minor port and polish, chamber/bowl work, competition valve springs, intake ports are now 1 3/8". havent measured the exh ones. Camshaft is a 'CalCams 27-D', Dave Rebello tells me its the milder of the two cams they usually use(hence the still-small ports) but its pretty mean for a 2bbl setup like mine. The head is built for the small-ish (1.9L) bottom end. Too much port, and you actually LOSE power. Quote Link to comment
