Cheers,
Cam2. :)

Is this a case of putting smaller heads on a bigger motor to raise compression?

Heard that done to Holdens but not on a Benz before

Same theory - should work a treat.

Cam, call Centre Rd wreckers in Melb, and ask if the still have the yellow 350SE they were wrecking (it was there last time I visited the place but that was like 3+ months ago) and ask how much for the heads, removal, and freight to Cbr.

I'm sure you guys have done your homework, just make sure they fit ok,

someone was talking about 6.3 heads on a 6.9 over on the M100 site some time back and it was pointed out that they woun't fit, don't know if it is the bolts that don't allign up or "things" inside the head/block.

Homework done.... ;)

Going to have a look at the finished result of someone who's already done this..bout 20yrs ago. :cool:

..apparently the only issue will be the exhaust headers.

Same bloke is putting my car on his dyno.. can't wait. :D

Interesting....how high does it raise the compression?

Can you still run it on pump petrol? or a mix of petrol and avation fuel?

Not entirely sure of the figures etc.. but i'm guessing you can still use normal petrol...wouldn't raise the compression that high.. The dude's had this setup for about 20yrs. Be keen to check it, and will definitely post pics!! ;)


So..... anyone got a set of M116 heads?

I'll give centre road a call on monday Mav's.. but i'm pretty confident i should be able to source some in the (rough) vicinity of cappitown.. hopefully. :confused:

...don't be so sure, SELfor50, they may prove difficult, AND expensive to come by. These days, try and source a good quality 280 head going back to the late sixties - not an easy, nor cheap, task, unless lady luck smiles on you. Swapping 6.3 and 6.9 heads - just simply impossible. Nothing ois the same. Regards Styria

Cam,

Do you need more power or more traction?

Hi Cam (no you can't have my 350):D It'll be interesting to here more about what this other guy has done and whether he had a d-jet or k-jet m117 to begin with. D-jet on d-jet would be easier with the same gaskets.

I've got a bunch of questions but will wait to see what you find out. Good luck with the search.

Cam,

A little from column A, a little from Column B!!

Diff exploration will help with traction, but the heads / cams etc will help with HP and gear usage...

Come on Oscar, you know it's a worthy cause!!! :D ;)


Found a set by the way! Just need to find another set, then the reverse auction begins.. :D
