P&P 8v head

663 Views 9 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  eurotrashrabbit
I'd like to here from people that have a polished and ported 8v head.
Here are my questions:
1. Did you buy the head new?
2. Where did you get it from?
3. How much did you spend on it?
Thanks
I'm thinking about make my ABA swap into a real monster.

a 3 anlge valve job, with a gasket matched port&polished head will probably flow about 15% better than a stock head. add a huge cam and some HD springs, and you cn easily get about 20hp out of it.
this is from personal experience.

I have a Eurospec head. It was cast with giant ports to begin with and i bought it new. The best numbers ive seen from 8vs had this head. Very good for an ABA with a giant cam.

What did you end up paying for the eurospec head?
Re: P&P 8v head (Lunitixx)

I think i paid about 900 for it. That was all built and included Eurospec's 272 cam, which i sold.
I bought it from Shine Racing....they suck so dont buy from them.

Re: P&P 8v head (deathhare)

how big a cam you guys talking
like 276 or bigger
thats my plan i think i am going to use a big valve hydro head now though instead if the solid lifter 84 gti head that i was originally planning
Re: P&P 8v head (deathhare)

Shannon, i have (now) a Eurospec head also. Big ass ports... almost complete circles. i haven't installed it yet... so we'll see what kind of power it makes.

Nice man, what block do you have. By the way, i have a Schrick 280 asym.
Re: P&P 8v head (deathhare)

Dude, thats the problem... i have a 1.8L high comp block now... i have an ABA but i';m selling it due to difficulties with money. So i'm just going to install the ehad on the 1.8 and run it around.. if i don't like it (too much loss in low end) i'll just swap it back for the GTI head i got now. But the cam i'm running is a Delta CAms 260... not too hurtful for the low end... But i also ave the port matched intake manifold too.

thsi is it.
