Hey guys, im about to get my P's in a month. When i braught my n/a the guy chucked in another VL head with it. This is all he told me about it: The head has been ported n polished,new*inlet*& exhaust valves,*cam and a set of new lifters. My questions are how much difference in terms of power would this make if i put it on, how much would it cost roughly for a good mechanic to fit it and also is there any other things i would have to do along with it e.g upgrade the chip etc. Pretty much i want to make the car a bit faster but being 17 dont have heaps of cash to throw at it. Cheers Guys

wouldnt be worth the money to put it on mate best thing you can do is invest in some extractors an exaust and put the head on when your head gasket or head cracks wich no doubt will happen Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
