hey guys,

I am turboing my 1584 cc single port engine, I am thinking about ordering some of the 044 heads from CB performance (twin port, P/N: CB-1444).
What I would like to know is what is it going to take to get these heads to fit my engine? I have searched, but all I have been able to find is that I need to change some of the case studs to shorter ones, Do I need 8 mm studs or 10mm? (CB-1276 or CB-1223 or CB-1229?)

Thanks,

Scott

you'll also need to install case savers if you're going to go with the 8mm head studs. sp cases aren't really that great candidates for modification. what's the engine number? if it's an h5 case, i'd forget about it.
