lol, yeh but it gets to the point were effort required, and output gained are way up the piss.

put a 3kb head on if you can find 1. other wise the 4k head will b fine.

If you can get a jap import 4K-U, there the best of the 4K's (except the 4K-E)

[bacon]

so are 4k and 3k heads the same?
where do u get 3kb heads from cheers.

[Bling]

trademe, and as has been said above, why bother you probably won't notice any difference no matter what you do unless you spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Spend 5x the price of a 4AGE conversion, and get 1/2 the power, and driveability,

Oh, but you will get twice the fuel comsumtion though.

If you really wanted to spend big dollars, probably something like
short skirt pistons, lightweight rods, large cam, and headwork by someone who knows what they are doing?

Use the 4K head, 3KB is a waste of time (lets have huge ports and standard size valves, hurray) and a 4K-U head on a stock 4K would end up with 16:1 compression (methanolicious!)
Just plane a few thou off it to bring compression to 10:1, it'll go better. Still nothing flash, but will be better than stock.
Really depends on how much money you want to spend, you can get them to make over 130hp if you want.

put in a 5k and play with it, definite power differences

Edit: I see you are in Chch and this is in Gisbourne..

Edit 2 : Doit anyway!

[Dell'Orto]

Thats a 2Y, not a 7K

[Lloyd]

I concur

[rollaholic]

its still a sweet van though!

Damnit

When i had my 4k in my dx, i ported and polished head refaced valves, F29 cam from kelfords, all new bearings, re-bored with oversized pistons, lighten flywheel, planed head (14:1), just used a 32/36 webber carb, sounded mean as did good skids lol but wasnt overly fast, cost me around 3g i think.

[Bling]

what do i do to it then if i spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

transplant a better motor in.

a blacktop would be nice, but not the easiest of conversions. 4ages are used a lot though, so most parts will be easily available, just might be costly, but at least it will go well when done.

all depends how serious you want to get.

My current dream is 1uz in my corona project will start saving $$$ one day.

[Dell'Orto]

what do i do to it then if i spend $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Forged slipper pistons, forged rods, forged maincaps, dry sump, titanium pushrods, roller rockers + lifters, 15:1 compression, twin 40mm carbs/quad throttles, run on methanol and rev to 10,000rpm. Not to mention balance the living bejesus out of everything that spins and spend thousands on the head.
Would sound incredible, and cam dependant would make assloads of power and have to be rebuilt every 4 hours.

[Lloyd]

Doesn't take that much to make them rev a bit. 10k is a bit of work though lol
