One of the local head porters checked out lloyds heads and agreed that they are a really nice set..

He's said that the work around the guides on the exhaust ports were really good.. i guess thats one of the hardest things to get down..

Cant wait to get them on...

 

 

We should just put a sticky that says Lloyds the man!

His work was top notch with my heads as well. I have recommended him several times and I haven't talked to a nicer guy.

Edit: hey Bunker what kinda power are you making with that thing? You gotta be over 400 at the wheels...

 

since youre in my area..........whos installing them for ya?

 

I haven't dynoed yet, I just swapped out the xe236/242 cam & put the 847 in there, I sent the heads back to lloyd for some more work like bronze guides, comp 977 springs etc...

 

Good to hear. I haven't heard one bad thing about Lloyd yet thats why i'm gonna go with this work also.

 

Bob.. bobrocket on bad rap..

he's putting them on now..

I have always done all the work on that car but he can get it done 3 times as fast and probably better, plus he can tune it on the spot... anyways i can make more money by paying him to do it instead of taking time from my work.

I felt like a mother leaving her kid at the day care....

I was naming off every little thing, and bringing every single part he could possibly need.

 

HAHAHA aint that the truth

 

Isn't the GM847 very similiar to your current cam? What did your old set up dyno? I guess it won't be a fair comparison if the heads receive addtional work. Good luck, I hope you gain some more ponies!

 

no the xe236/242 is not similar at all, its a faster ramp up rate cam which is reality makes it a smaller cam, it fell to its face at 6200rpm, the heads aren't receiving any additional work as far as porting goes just longevity like bronze guides/comp 977 springs thats it. The GM847 should rev to 7k rpm which would make more power up there.

 

Lloyd hasn't done any work for me, but he was very, very helpful in answering my questions when I was porting mine. From what I've seen on here he seems to be a great guy!

 

yeah, bob's gonna install my GM847 either next weekend, or the weekend after............i cant wait to hear that sucker idle heheheh

what cam did you go with?

maybe we can meet up at the track.....as soon as my new clutch is broken in, im gonna see what times i can pull on stock heads.

 

I'm going with the 847 and Lloyd's heads too. Can't wait to see what kind of numbers you get!

-Rippin

 

gm847 + lloyds heads= sickness

 

Hehe Thanx guys I can't wait either & I assure you once i get it all together i will make a thread with the numbers
