I do hope these heads get done, really would love to do a t4 engine with them.

What do you think 'a set' of these heads with everything else that is needed to run those (cams, intake, case modifications, etc) would cost?
And do you have a budget for that amount?

Hey Wally, your dyno graph pic went away. Can you share it again? Thx

Sure, there is a trick btw to make these visible again...

" a trick" ????
Apart for paying the silly price Photobucket is asking?
Another host?

Now diluting your thread Wally but here are two links to another way of getting OHC on your VW block.
Not as much fun as the Apfelbeck, but still a "cheap" functional and proven way.

Nope: look at the link I modified (we tune everything right? )
You need to insert ~original between.jpg and [/img] and then it works as before

We know each other a long time now Fredrik, so of course I know of these links and many other '911 heads om VW engines', but...the Apfelbeck heads are so much more then that: they were and still are a (much) better version of the aircooled 911 head, period. The extra intake valve and some proper squish area make all the difference. imho but maybe I'am biased

Thanks Wally!

Sorry Wally! These lincs were not for you. I do know our history and we "met" through your involvement in the Apfelbeck.
It is high time for us to meet in real life.
I have very little excuse apart from my 6.9 second dragster Dream Project going on.
Both daughters out of the house and doing very well in life.
Blonde, very nice and smart wife is also out....we divorced as we wanted to do different things in life. So me and a VW (drag-race) friend (or two) may very well visit CSP Germany and then visit SPA when there is a VW event. That is if you are there. Otherwise we will have to include Netherlands. OT but maybe not?

-----hmmmm, maybe I should include bringing the dragster for a show run?

No need for sorry my friend!
Spa is awesome, I highly recommend it and hopefully we will meet there!
BTW, forget about blondes, their 'fun' is highly overrated haha!

Do bring the Dragster if you can!
If agenda's allow, there is VW Action last weekend of august iirc and you can apply for free ferry (also for a car+trailor!) if you just bring it

WOW!!!

That is a plan! Good timing for me too.
This is reference to SPA or Santa Pod, other?

Action = Santa Pod, England
31 August 2018 (Friday) - 2 september 2018 (Sunday)

"Owners of Show Cars and/or Race Cars from mainland Europe should CONTACT US for details of travel assistance"
The 'contact us' link is the direct mail from Brian Burrows iirc: [email protected]

My plan is to have the 1303 ready for then WITH turbo system working

I need a large trailer. Should bring my Blue Carbon track car for some 1/4 mile action too. LIKE it a lot!!!
