Several days old post/reply?


It's this way:  The "smog heads" have the same chambers as the '65/'66 
turbo heads and they are useless imho.  Even the turbo engines with 
these chambers will respond considerably better with the later vintage 
95hp heads which have a good squish area and better ping/detonation 
resistance.  Smog and late turbo heads are, far as I'm concerned, best 
used for making lawn chairs and pie tins.   If you have a customer who 
has 95hp heads on his 164 engine, tell him to keep them and do NOT 
replace them with smog heads.

Just my opinion.
