Pelican Parts Wow, Check Out What I Found at Pomona!!!

These were way too cool to pass up:










These are factory twin-plug 3.2L cylinder heads used on the Turbo charged 933 engine.

What the heck is a 933 you say? It's the PFM engine that was used in the airplane in 1986.

Check it out:

- Factory cast twin plugs
- Knock sensors located on each head
- Temp sensor hole in each head
- Huge valves and ports (I haven't measured them exactly yet)

They are basically 3.2L heads (the best head you can start with for a performance engine) with factory cast twin-plug ignition (see the bosses cast into the head). The knock sensors would be perfect for use on a Turbo-charged engine with a TEC-3 engine management system...

I picked up two sets of these this weekend. I'll probably be selling a set on Ebay in the near future, or if someone wants to make me an offer, email me...

These are indeed very rare, and quite cool!

Wayne:

Certainly you wouldn't want to profit from your find . I know a N/A 3.2 that would love to have a little higher compression, and those heads helping it out with the double spark !!

What a great find.

Let me know when they hit E-bay (I'm tired of sorting through all the junk that hits that place)

Regards,

Great find Wayne. I've been putting together a mental list of parts for a long term engine project and your not helping to keep it long term.

I'll give you double what you paid for them. You can't get that kind of turn over in the stock market.

So far, I've had five people offer to buy them from me. I think I'll stick them on Ebay (the extra set - gotta keep the other set for my 401K)...

My 401K retirement plan currently includes:

- Rebuilt Webers
- Early Al case
- 1 set twin-plugged airplane 3.2 heads
- Deep dish Fuchs
- Mahle Gas Burners (yes, now have a set of four)
- 7s and 9s
- 914-6 GT metal flares
- 914-6 stub axles and calipers

I figure that this stuff will appreciate faster than the stock market!
