hi all im currently in the process of rebuilding the 186 in my LC coupe.
Currently it is running
161 head, port work to roughly stage 3 level
40/80 cam
triple strombergs
extractors to full 2.25 system
i have a set of triple 45 webers on the way and a street terra rolla rockers
in terms of head work i have heard that triple webers run much better on 12 port heads? anyone know anything about this?
i wanted to get my 161 head ported and some more work done to it
but would i be better of going a 12port?
what else can people recomend to get some serious juice out of this 186?

No worries. A blue 202 block, crank and 173 head can normally be found for less than $100. I saw a complete blue 173 at a scrap metal yard a few weeks ago. Local Commodore wrecker still regularly chucks them in the scrap bin. Last time I looked in their b |
