Where did you get MP struts? They are NS1. They are a little firmer.

I got them when I bought the car. The guy did mention they were getting hard to find. He also gave me some other parts he said was rare. Have you guys ever heard of a head designed by Hans Herman? He said there was something different about it but I forget what he said it was.

the Hans Hermann head is supposedly the Uber-head for the 2.2. Caroll Shelby has one on 86 GLHS 001
Hans Herman head = original 16 valve head.

Well I was considering the neon head swap over the winter. I have a good neon head and this Hans Herman head which one would perform better?
I know this is the wrong forum, I'm just curious.

Apparently HH also built a 8 valve head that is unmatched for flow by anyone, even the great Steve M, :thumb:
Got pics of the 16 valve HH head?

Well I guess I can take a few pics soon. I have to dig it out of the loft of our old pole barn, but it shouldn't be too hard. Is this head a big deal or something?

No it's not.
It doesn't worth anything.
I'll pay you $100+shipping for it.

Thats more than I'd get out of it for scrap metal, I will pull it out and take some pics of it and see if it's worth anything.

Ummm why do you guys want this head so bad? Serriously!

no one wants it silly :thumb: , Sounds to me like this could be some sort of secret head that carroll had made up for a special apperance car
the hans herman head was built as a prototype and never made it to production. VERY rare. In fact I bet no one on this board has even seen one in person. So if your claiming to have one, is it an 8 valve or 16 valve head?

It's not anything special ;) I'll drive up and pay you to haul it away. Does the HH have the cams and pulleys?? If so... It's worth even less.

pix? if its the 8 valve you need to send it to a porting guy so they can scan it and then other porting guys can take alook at the file and port our heads that way.... freaking sweet

I never really thought the head was all that special so I just coated it in white lithium grease and stored it away. I was thinking it was a 16v, but the more I think about it I'm starting to think it is a 8v. Hell I havent even seen the damn thing in almost 2 years!

A little firmer... but mine didn't last for sheet. After 3 years of limited driving, they were bouncy again. Now...they are just plain horrible 8 years later and 30,000 miles on them.

I am getting a lot of interest in this head and even a few serrious offers. Before this goes too far I should let you guys know I don't have the head. I was having a few beers that night and I thought it would be fun to screw around with you guys. There is an older simular thread on the other site and I found it kinda funny and thought I would try it here. I know I have it coming so let the flamming begin!

one reason I quit replying ;) I know you have been around long enough to know what that head would be. :p

I *thought* the same thing... but every now and then I find people with a boatload of a post count that are still clueless... so I fell for it.
I do feel better that nobody else is getting it :eyebrows:

In a way I'm kinda glad I did this little hoax. It got me currious about what all the hype was about, so I researched the head and wow!
