I just purchased a spare engine w/ 1600 mile on the odometer. I plan on having it around for back-up to compete wheel to wheel in the future.

Meanwhile.. out of curiousity, I have taken apart the valve cover, intake and exhaust manifold, unbolted the tranny case. I've taken the egngine to a friends shop and plan on flow-benching the head soon w/ and w/o the manifolds to find out the engines volumetric efficiency. From the looks of the engines intake port, it should out flow a comparable B-series head.

here are some pictures... http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4292138735

I'll post the results soon..

Thats interesting. I'd be interested in seeing how your project turns out. Are you planning on porting and polishing and all that? Good luck with motor!
