Ive got a blue motor in a vh commodore that im doing up for a one tonner, its a really good motor, doesnt blow any smoke, no noises, doesnt use any oil. I seen somewhere the old hq and hj had 100kw while the commodore only has 86 kw and;
i want to put a old manifold and carby of a hq or hj on the blue motor to get rid of all the pipes and pollution gear, would this make it go any better? and would a red manifold fit on a blue motor?
Also can you put a red head on a blue motor cause i want to put a 149 or 161 head to up the compression then the red manifold and carby would fit on?

Red manifold won't fit on blue motor.
Blue motor bottom end is better than a red one.
If you want to up compression on the blue motor and use the blue motor manifold use a blue 173 head.
