Hey all, how will a 2.7 block crank and pistons perform with an 885 head? Will it be faster than a normal 325i engine?192.168.0.1 router login 192.168.1.1

885 head onto a 2.7 makes sense if you have an ETA as its a good step up (nothing could be worse than stock eta) but if you have a 2.5 then dont bother with this povo version 2.7L not worth the effort IMO
