hi mate The car is a sunday driver only, my toy car will get something a little more substantial. I am after approx 200hp at the crank or so. Well i figured a bigger valved head will flow better hence breathe easier and so forth so it would be better to put the better flowing head on the engine. The CR of 9.5 doe snot seam very high tome at all. I will do some more searching and thanks for the reply, BTW i love this site

humm am i posting in the wrong section? Anyone?

Ok so i have an N42 head from a L28 Nissan Patrol in Oz. Got it as a freebe, looks good, hardened seats and so forth. I have a complete L26 with an E88 head, but i was hoping to use the N42 head as it has bigger valves and so forth. NOW i want to run about 9.5:1 or 10:1 CR or there abouts. I am hoping to do the following, Run my l26 block with eyebrows to suit the N42 head. Ported N42 head with a stage 1 or 2 cam. 240Z flat top pistons to bump the compression up. In Australia we run a minim 93 octane fuel i will run on a min 95 or 98 octane fuel. I have read a dozen posts about issues with detonation of the N42 head as it doesn't have quench and so forth. As i am new to this, can someone point out the issues with WHY an N42 head can/can not be used sucsefully on the L26 block. OR would it be simpler to run the E88 head and flat top pistons? If anyone has some advice and any good articles/books i should read please offer as much advise as you can Thansk
