Picked me up a old sand rail.
Been doing a little work on it, I have had the heads in the shop for about a month now.
A friends buddy owns the shop and is supposed to be really good. I believe at this point really good is on American motors and not German VW engines. LOL!!!
He said who ever had this motor sunk a bunch of money in to these heads.
Though I did tell him that I did not want to spend a bunch on these heads because you can now buy a well built head for these for about $300 bucks that are especially made for big bores that are out in to the head studs or bolts. Anyway the piston were out to 92' and the blocks been cut out to about 96 for the barrels. When I got this thing it looked like someone put hand fulls of sand down in the cylinders so the barrels are pitted bad. Which sucks because the Pistons are Aluminum Racing Pistons and the Barrels and Pistons are sold as a total package. Anyway I'll buy some cheap pistons and Barrels and throw the cheap piston to the side and only use the barrels. It had a lot of the more expensive stuff in it so I lucked out. I got it off a women who's husband had just bought it to fix up and he was in his shop sitting at his desk when his heart exploded and killed him. She she didn't know anything about it really. It needs a lot of work but I think it's worth what I paid anyway. Here is a video anyway. https://www.flickr.com/photos/kurtva...posted-public/
