E31 head worth using?


Empire

Recommended Posts

I've got a complete L24 and L28. A friend has a an E31 head for me at a good price. Is it worth swapping it on? I'll be using tripple webbers, header and twicepipes, and hopefully a mild Crane cam I found (if the machine shop can clean it up enough). Trying to get the most power out of what I've got to work with. Car will be a weekend toy.

It would be put to much better use if you hog out the runners and swap in bigger valves. Stock for stock you might get more usable power out of an N42 head because it has lower compression. If you're getting it for cheap you could always resell it for a profit though.

Sell the E31 to a vintage racer and find yourself a maxima N47. anything made from 81 to 84 will work. Its a VERY nice closed chamber design, with a 39cc chamber. higher compression with a nice heart shaped, high quench chamber.
