Head Question

Post by DJ CptnCrnch » Mon Aug 14, 2006 7:07 pm

I'm almost ready to buy this head:

http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?t=252467

The dude is also thowing in
New set of mopar head bolts
brand new crank scraper
New head gasket shim drops compression by one point

A few other questions

1. What does everyone think of the setup??

2. This should be a direct swap...just take off all the old sensors and plug into the new head.

3. I know i will need something for tuning. What should i use? sacfII?? Where is the cheapest that i can get it?

4. What else do i need to be worried about.

Thanks in advance

is he still including the cam and header?
If its just the head and nothing else, it should be a direct bolt on with no mods. Of course in the long run, you will want to do some fine tuning...

I know i will have to do something for the FF LTH, i think i would just take it to a muffler shop and have them weld it for me

That's a shame. I personally know who ported the head and he did a phenomenal job...even if it did take like a year....
Fix it 'till it's broken. Then upgrade.
