() Date: August 10, 2018 03:58PM Bump. Looking around to see what 110 heads are available to convert this to a 110. Might be the best option for me with this engine. Willing to trade the heavily modified 110 heads I have for a set of 110 heads that have be through a valve job by a reputable vendor I know. Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:

() Date: August 11, 2018 06:59AM Ken: I like your thinking. I have a spare distributor for 95/110 engines, so the 95 heads is what I will be looking for. So the trade is now for a set of 95 heads that have been through a valve job by a reputable vendor I know. Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:

How "Heavily Modified" are these 110 heads? I'd be tempted to get them modified a lil more and have the 110 nose milled off and make 95 heads out of them. ![]() Been aircooled since 1973 Northwest Ohio 45840 Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:

() Date: August 11, 2018 12:06PM Subject of previous discussion on the modified heads. Not the goal I would head for with any engine. 110 heads machined for High CR and modified Chambers [corvaircenter.com] Ken: Do you see anyway these modified heads could be salvaged to work on the turbo block like a 110 head should? or even a 95? I don't see it without using shorter connecting rods since one fin has been machined off. Not looking to make a unique configuration. Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:

() Date: August 11, 2018 05:14PM I've taken one fin off of a couple of sets of heads! With that much off you may have to shorten pushrods but that is all. I think I read they were 41cc? with a stock bore that comes out to about 10.7-1 compression ratio. That is just a little high even with adding a Singh groove. Maybe if the little nose was machined off some would make them usable. 10-1 is doable with a Singh groove and still run 87 octane. I would have to look at the heads again to be sure but as you know anything is possible. Ken Hand Handy Car Care 248 613 8586 Vairmech@aol.com Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:

() Date: August 11, 2018 05:25PM Again, it would be a unique engine. Something I do not want to delve into. That is why I want to trade them off for a set of 95 or 110 heads. If you look at the link I posted last, you can see the heads and the chambers. Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:

() Date: September 17, 2018 02:33PM I stopped in to see Caveman Pete. Nice visit and also picked up some parts. One of the parts is a 95 hp head. So I have half the set I need. Engine will remain on the market until I start the conversion to a 95 hp engine. Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:

() Date: October 19, 2018 02:44AM Well the 95 head has a bad guide so it won't be used. I have a set of 110 heads, distributor and carbs that will be set aside to convert the turbo engine to a 110 engine. To be done at a later date. Re: FS: LM 180 Turbo Engine Posted by:
