The Search

... for some extra power.
I think it is on the time to get a little more power into my black beetle. So I started to do some headwork first. I reworked the combustion chamber like it was shown in Bill Fisher´s book (thanks mario!!!). Nothing special, just trying to get a little more flow thru the heads. A 3 angle valve job will follow soon. The w 120 is getting switched against a w 125 with 70gr. lifters from CBperfo. and I think I'll set the c.r. somewhere around 10:1. The rods and rockers will be polished and balanced. And maybe I will bolt on a 41mm merged header, but at this point I´m not sure ...
