if your heading down either the silver or blacktop route, check this guy out.

will sort all your cooling needs, and has a few other very nice toys to make the conversion go really easy.

frieght isnt too bad from our end... he is in aus so dont be too shy to shoot him a email or something.

blacktop is a very nice engine, but the internal knock sensor in the ecu is VERY sensitive, so tends to retard very early in the peice. Silvertop bottom end is a bit stronger if you plan on going boost at any stage

good luck

Hey thanks for the links!

i will go check them out now,

I'm not a Forced induction kinda guy i much preffer N/A all the way.

so any more pros or cons of either motor would be helpful.

I will be reading and absorbing as much info over the next month or so before i decide anyway as the car is in storage for the winter anyway. Some other areas as well as motor will be addressed over winter.

and Ivan i foudn the thread and read it thanks for the dicrection very helpful!

so far this board is great as a new 86 owners guide. glad i chose it over others!

blacktop head is nicer and the rods are great for standadr, but are prone to stretch at really high revs.

to get the most out of it, a complete ecu swap would be best

or beams....

[PDP]

both of those motors come with ecu's

when you say high revs the rods stretch how hight we talking??

i'm known to bring my cars right up failry often

[fantapants]

9000 plus. you wont do it on a standard ecu

if you have the choice and must use the standard ecu then the blacktop is worth the map sensor alone

means open trumpets
