[s-cars] Head for your UrQ engine build

[Stephen Redford]

---------- Thanks for the info Ben.   I am interested in the MC-1 , 5000Tq  Head.    I need the cam too .   I am assuming that the head has valves and springs etc.    So , possibly I won't have to have too much, if any , machining done.  I will check with the shop owner to make sure he has not gotten one locally yet.    I should know by tonite, I hope.      take care,      Stephen R.    '85Urq

  Steve,

   

  I will give both heads a going over in the AM, but last I recall, they were both in great shape.  I always presume to require a valve seal job along with a lap on any head I get.

   

  The NF head is from the 100 non-turbo, and had larger valves and is a good upgrade.  The bolt-up and fitment is otherwise identical to the MC-1.  I have bee using these to mockup engine builds and was going to use for mine.

   

  I have a lot of miscellaneous parts from the 5000 turbo quttro engines including complete CIS systems, ECU and harness - basically all parts to put together a complete installation.

   

  Yes, shipping to Washington can be expensive.  I just shipped a head to Oregon and it was $65 including insurance.  But I'm not asking a whole lot for these nice heads - maybe $125, so shipping + part cost is not too bad.

   

  LMK what you think.  I can take pictures, but only if you are fairly committed, as this takes time.

   

  Ben

  ----------- What can you tell me about the condition of the heads  and which is the 5000tq head ?   I  don't know what the NF stands for   I am assuming it is a naturally aspirated head from ??  Does the 5000tq head come with a cam?   What are the other conversion parts you mention?  Where are you located?  I am in Seattle.   I'm thinking shipping costs ,  Thanks     ...Stephen R.

    I have both an MC-1 and an NF head(has larger valves.

     

    I have some other conversion parts you may need as well.
