325 with a 24v head?

[dannyg1]

Hi all,
Am fairly sure that this will be a re-thread, but I can't use the search thingy.

I have a 327 fully race prep'd car with 288 shrik cams etc. It's currently giving 215bhp..
Will putting a 24v head on it give me more power. Will it lose torque?

Any advice on increasing the power would be useful

Cheers all.

where are you going to get the 24 valve head from ????

i think they are extremely rare!!!!!!!!! remember seeing an old thread about racing dynamics making one with some pics aswell!

as for your torque question i have no idea !

24valvle head won't work for a start the water channels don't match up. unless its one of the racing dynamics 24 valve heads and good luck finding one of those.

too slow !

RD made 7 of these heads but the S14 killed it off. Don't think they where publicly sold but whats the point when you can Cam an M50 up instead?!

[march109]

You failed to mention a normal 24valvea head won't work, and the only ones ever produced were made by RD which in face are not just rare they are ultra rare, I only know the wherabouts of 1 out of a possible 3 or 5. Or maybe 7 as above.

Racing Dynamics stuff was always sold in limited numbers I'm lucky enough to own some very rare stuff.

too true 109 my knowledge is far inferior - was only jestin !!!!

[dannyg1]

fair enough. Any other way of getting more power from my engine with out turbos or superchargers?

3 litre stroker

Depends what you've done so far but for a 2.7 thats a good figure allready.

3 litre stroker

2.8/2.9/3.0/3.1 all possible, but not cheap. 215bhp is a good figure for a 2.8!

I have an m50 head and schrick cams for sale

[zaust]

I have a whole 525 manual with 24v head cheap.

Fully race prep'd, a 2.7 with a 288 cam and only 215bhp?! I'd be disappointed..
