[NY65912]

While my lil' 80 SC was in the shop for 930 brakes, IROC body mods and full Elephant suspension upgrades I nonchalantly asked for a valve adjustment. Upon removal of one of the valve covers a broken headstud was found.

Sooo......now the question of do I have only the headstuds replaced or do a few little engine mods to bump things up a bit.

After much agonizing and thought this is what myself, my son and of course my wrench (Bill Rudtner - Rutdner's Racing) came up withbased on the 3.0

993 headstuds
ARP rod bolts on stock rods (for now)
10.5 to 1 JE pistons
Street port and polish heads - "a little massage"

The above will work in conjunction with 46mm PMOs, SSI's, Monty exhaust and/or M&K mini straight "mufflers" when allowed. MSD will fire the plugs, until the next phase of cams and dual plugs. Probably go to 3.2 in the future as well.

Any guesstimates as to hp numbers? Does this plan sound ok?

I have tried as hard as I could to control myself......thanks for reeling me in Jr.

I'll be reporting back periodically.

Cheers
