It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Nooo, reproduction. These came from American Muscle. LMR used to carry them, but dropped them due to lack of popularity.

That's a shame cause they really look good. That's my only gripe with the wheels on my son's car, wish they were staggered like yours.

UPDATE:

The boy now has a pickup truck to daily and is improving his stockish engine in phm.



These are the P heads Collin ported that I ended up with. The boy managed to weasel his way into them as well as my RPM II intake. The good news is he's working at our local Oreilly Auto Parts now, so at least I don't have to buy gaskets and silicone for him.

More to come as the project comes together. Again.

Thanks man. I haven't posted in a while and figured this was worth it. I'm also kinda getting the itch to monkey with my fox again as well, so there may be that too.

The boy's fox, or mine? They are both parked in my shop. His is getting the cylinder head swap. I wouldn't allow him to do it until he got a job and a reliable daily driver. After that, I told him to have fun!

I approve of this. I want to go for a ride once they're installed.

Is he going to swap in a cam while he's at it? My ported GT40Ps and Trickflow intake stock cammed combo had noticeably less torque than stock, and only revved to 5800- 6K before dropping off completely.

Yep, the boy still has the car and actually drives it to work on occasion. We started the project when he was roughly 15 years old, and now he is 25. He has a job as a machinist in a refinery like his old man, and he bought a house earlier this year! I asked him once if he was ever going to sell that car and he answered with a resounding "NO! My dad helped me build it!"

He may never sell the car, but he knows who to call if he ever changes those heads out!
