Your 179 can be bored to 186... And even further to 192 if you felt the need... I wouldnt ditch the 179 just yet as it is effectively a 186 with a more enclosed bore, plus you WILL have a steel crank which are strong and durable too.

It would honk without a turbo. I actually have a GM 4/71 aluminium blower manifold for a Hemi. I bought it for nostalgic value as its handbuilt with a big 3" PSI guage on it, and has what appears to be exhaust valves and springs built into it for over-pre |
