Pulling motor...assumed bearing failure.

My first post on this forum is a short vid.
It only a 72 for now, I've been missing a lower plenum for the 74, got one off an ozzy 3.5 sohc diamante, got the whole ozzy motor then found that the ozzy 3.5 has dished pistons for low comp.
See a lot of you guys have you heads buried in the sand because you spend too much time on 3SI.
Now why was it I got banned? about 5 years ago.....that's right, upset too many people. TT heads are crap, even stock N/A heads are better. Import power knows but he works for 3SX.

Wait...so what heads are you suggesting then? Are they direct bolt on for a 6G72 block?

[GTOJOE]

what is the difference between the tt and the na heads? are the valves the same etc?

This last weekend what little time I had I modified my front and rear intercooler pipes to fit my turbos, made a rear intake pipe so the filter would fit, and installed the AEM EMS. I still need to wire up my gauges, GM IAT, and AEM 3.5 bar MAP sensor. The downpipe may have to be modified to fit, remount the oil cooler, put the radiator hoses back on, fill it with fluids, and fire it up. If I wasn't in a wedding I'd probably get it done this weekend, but I'll see how much I can get done on Sat. After riding in my friend's 347 '90 Mustang I got the itch to get my car done. I always look at a V8 sitting in his car or my buddies' y-block motor sitting in his 56 Ford and I get jealous of how much room there is in there. No wonder it took my friend a day to take out his 302, swap his 347 in, convert it to carburetor, and tune it.

Correct, they are a 9.0:1 compression (Ralliart magna's 9.4:1) but are as weak as bat shit.

AFAIK The lower intake's are different as the port shape to the start of the head is different, also the threads in the lower intake are at a different spacing to the DOHC. I have some pictures here, got a SOHC 24v head, popped it on the DOHC block and looked at differences!

Steve - seriously, if N/A heads were the way to go, why aren't the fastest 3000GT's/Stealths running them? You carry on as if there is some crazy conspiracy against you and the idea of N/A heads being better than TT heads. I wont argue your point as I dont know enough about the two nor have I ever compared the two myself. But just think about this for a second, all the knowledge and parts for our cars has mostly come from the US as nobody outside of the US even bothers pushing our platform like they do. Why wouldn't we look, listen and learn from them? Surely you have your own pics of N/A heads v TT heads as you have run the two. I know you've gone thru a few engines in your time, so lets see your proof.
