Re: 1958 Saab story
Here's the list of goodies that are showing up.
Speed engineering headers with cat delete y-pipe.
243 aluminum heads to replace the 317 heads. From what I'm reading online, the 243 heads (64.5 cc chambers) should bump up the compression ratio from 9.4 to 10.2 compared to the 317 heads (71.5 cc chambers). I don't know how accurate that is, but I did the same thing on my jeep with a similar camshaft and it pulls strong on 87 octane
Truck norris cam kit with new lifters, trays, springs, push rods, valve guide seals.
I also gotta all new belts, tensioner and idler pulley.
I'm having a tough time removing the transmission oil pan. It's been sealed with gray rtv and it's not letting loose. I'll keep you posted
