I think I'm interested. I need to research a bit tonight to see if I think they will fit on my C3. If do, I'll take them.

I'm installing an LS1 and don't have a use for these anymore. They are single groove, so no AC or PS; will just drive a water pump.

Asking $30 + shipping

THESE HEADS ARE SOLD!


I've got a pair of AFR 195 heads which have been sitting in my garage for about 6 years (when I pulled the motor for an LS1). I bought them used around '00 - '01 and ran...

OK, here goes. I'm embarrassed to be in this situation, but hopefully some public humiliation will get me rolling again.

Many years ago, a newly rebuilt stroked LS1 with T-56 & many new parts...

I can certainly feel your pain.

I had built a 383 with used (shaved) heads and had a 1 qt per 600-800 miles consumption problem. I can't offer any advice as to what I think it is, as I never found...

A C3 is certainly not as "daily driver friendly" as the C5, but it is doable. When we had our first kid, I sold my '94 and kept the '69 which I put in a 383 and re-did the suspension (nothing...

[rant] I need to find my way back

Long story not-too-short, my car hasn't been on the road since March of 2007.

I had a weeks vacation from work and the wife and kids out of town on Spring Break with all kinds of LS1/T56 goodies...

I started a Miata seat project a few years ago, but never finished. I found that the Miata seats sit way to reclined which would put the front of the seat cushion too high. I pulled the cover back...

I forgot people still have Al heads and intakes, so I agree my weight number could be a bit low.

I believe you are wrong on your springs, though.
A linear spring is one that compresses the same...

Hopefully, I'll be pulling my old engine and start working on the wiring harness for my LS1 swap.

I'd think the difference in weight wouldn't do much for height change. I think even stock SBC springs are in the 300 lb/in range. The 60lbs or so lighter of an LS1 (less if transplanting the tranny...

Oil consumption has not been fixed. Nothing I did made any changes in consumption. So, I'd say it burns 1 qt between 600-800 miles.

Yes, the engine can be demo'ed.

Sure, for $1200 picked up. I really don't want to deal with the hassell of shipping all of these big, heavy parts. If I'm going that route, I'll ebay them in hopes of making a few more bucks.
