hi guys though i would finally type up a project thread!!
so some of you may know about me wanting to put a 149 head on my 186..this is the plan.
186 block (pretty good block dont think it needs reconditioned)
149 head (ported and bigger valves)
2 single barrel strongburg carbs
mild cam
maybe roller rockers but might bust the budget
extractors 2.1/2 inch exaust system
torana diff
hopefully 5 spd celica gearbox but dont really want to turn to jap parts
i have some questions that need answered so ill fire away
what push rods do i need the 149 or the 186?
2 single barrel carbs or one double barrel?
are 202 valves bigger? wouldn't mind chucking them in, as my 186 currently has a 202 head.
what kind of gearbox would be appropriate?
how much hp is projected? im aiming for 200 at the flywheel
and projected compression?
thangs for the help guys will update regularly
cheers mike
