Laecaon Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Dont run a L16 head. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 WHICH L16 head? If 210, it = shit. If W53, then good, but only if you hog out the ports. Quote Link to comment
mike Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Look for a matchbox dizzy and make sure that you run the right coil for it. Any distributor from an L series will "work" though. Unless you dont want to rev that thing over about 4500 RPM, get a later head off of a bigger displacement engine. Unless someone has ported the hell out of it, the stock ports are so small on that 210 head that they are choking the hell out of it. Also make sure that the port size on your intake manifold match the intake ports on the head. Running a big intake on a small port head will cause you a few headaches... Quote Link to comment
