hi mate an welcome....
not sure on the head job tbh ... but somehow i doubt it... ( now im gonna be proved wrong ) so did u do the rocker in crazy pink or was that how it was ??? personally i would silver or black it... looks good glad to see u kept the orange corners.. swap the front beams to euro specs make it look a lot nicer me thinks.... other than that it looks really nice and a 2.3 8v is a rare one on this forum tbh... |

It would be cheaper and easier to buy a 16v from the start than to try put the head on an 8v block. |

Free flowing exhaust, and that's about it until you start spending big(ger) bucks. |

The cheapest way to gain power is a straight through exhaust system like conrad said you can also go EFI. Then you got to start spending more money for more power, gas flowing the head, lighter higher lift cams, upgrade the pistons, bigger injectors etc. Its up to you. Really if you want to spend as little as you can i'd go with an engine swap. |

Welcome dude, clean 190
Biggest bang for your buck has to be bike carbs mate. Get a lovely new intake manifold made up, stick some big bike carbs on there (rejetted for a car engine of course) throw the whole KE Jetronic system in a skip (dumpster for you) and away you go! That is of course a very simplistic explanation but its a start Oh and some euro lights will make her infinitely faster Enjoy the club. |
