WOW John, you might as well use this L98 as a boat anchor i see.

LOL

If only I had money....

Question on the heads are the valves any larger than the ones on my stock cast iron L98 heads and how many miles on them?

[JohnnyT]

I don't believe there are any valve differences, but I think they flow better than the iron heads. Plus there is a huge difference in weight. I was told the motor had 30 some thousand miles. It was taken out of a wrecked Vette.

Yup time to enlist it in boat anchor duty!!! The world will be a better place. LOL So when you get your new Fountain power boat John you can use this as the anchor

The block and heads would be nice upgrades for my LS . Too bad funds are short rihgt now ....those heads are very nicely priced.

Not so fast as using it as an anchor...take my 305 and give me the L98 instead .

Hey John, did you still have that monster tach. off the Turbo Regal? If you do and its for sale, let me know how much....I may find a use for it .

[Ricky Bobby]

i have a brand new monster tach by autometer 5" silver with shift light 60 bucks its urs

[PB86MCSS]

I'm actually looking for something along the lines of cheap(not that thats expensive)....tach will actually be going into my winter beater . So there is definately a budget there.

I heard Wal-Mart carries a cheapie tach even, which I might consider. I just forgot what John was asking for his, if it is still for sale even.
