    I have my two engines at the machine shop and both are setup for low compression to run turbos. Having said that, I would like to get rid of my aluminum edelbrock heads and rockers and arp head bolts, and intake and computer. I going to use a different head (afr) and 1.7 rockers with studs and a custom built sheetmetal intake and fast efi computer to run turbo. I would like to get input On what you guys think they are worth. I will post pics also of the items.:)

    Roland, you know you are ALWAYS supposed to call me first...

    I will give you $250 for all of it, and I will pay the shipping:D

    j/k, had to do that. Sorry. Probably worth much closer to $2500:yup:

    I would like to see what you end up with. With your skills, I am sure you will end up with an original one-off well performing intake.

    Now that I think about it, probably anything you could build out of aluminum sheetmetal would be better than anything you could buy over the counter...Should flow ENOURMOUSLY!!!

    I've seen the newer, 5-digit part number Ebrock heads go for $700-$800 used. The older ones with 4-digit part numbers don't fetch as much. If you get AFRs and the correct cam for your apllication you won't need 1.7 rocker arms.
