dam another g head why cant it be a 782 head i would have bought it in a heartbeat

[Bubba]

Well, you know in a couple of months people will be looking for G-heads and all the ones available will be swirls...;)

[Mr overkill]

yea when i buy one then there will be 10 for sale

[John B]

There is no proven advantage of one type over the other. All else being equal, a properly ported swirl or tub will perform the same.

been reading that a 287/g in a 2.5 VAN isnt good for a dd /track setup if i were bulding a track motor then i would grab the g head

Gus would have disagreed...

He can but many others will agree a G headed van sucks azz, :(

In my admittedly very humble opinion, it was the stage 3 turbine wheel that was the "hitch in your get-a-long" on your 8V. Didn't you also have some cal issues? Gus ran low 13s in Mini with a super 60 and less hi-po engine parts than you or I use. He was an adamant believer in the G head. http://www.gusmahon.org/html/Mini.htm

Are you sure he ran a g-head and not a swirl? I thought he always ran a swirl on the van. I have to agree with Simon on this one. I struggled for 2 years with this combo ( 2.5 G-head in a mini) as a DD. I had tons of timing with custom cals and it was too temperamental to knock. I thought it ran pretty good but when I pulled it and installed a lightly ported swirl, I would never look back. No more knock, plugs look great. Not only does it run better the engine sounds better. If I was to try it again, I would try shaving more off the head. The 2.2 and G works much better.

"Anthony Berge was kind enough to put a Super 70 (large turbocharger) in Mini! ...And a new high-flow fuel rail, along with a new MP "mild" head. "

PM sent on head

I flowed that head for Gus before it went on Mini. Those MP heads really didn't move much air at all over the stock one.

As stated, you can't close the door on the 2.5/G head combo unless you bring up the compression a bit.

Yes, he commented on that at the time. Still, he held that the G was superior to the swirl. I don't think that's necessarily so, especially with the swirls you do, but that was his expressed belief when he was posting on the SD list.

Alot has changed, and I'll keep bringing it up, SMP preferred a swirl as they need less timing and its a better chamber design.

Maybe more compression would help but I do think a 2.2 likes the G-head better.

A supercharger would probably suit a G-head too, ;)

Terry Ryan is using a G on his 11 second van isn't he?

[BadFastGTC]

I have been running swirlies on my 2.2's and 2.5's

I can't remember but he has a G head now but hasn't really done any racing since. His van isn't a DD either.

[John B]

I have been running swirlies on my 2.2's and 2.5's You don't count; you can make anything go fast! :p Just kidding, I prefer a swirl head too ever since I found that you could make them flow just as much as a G.

Plus the lack of having a CORRECTLY tuned cal WILL hurt you, too.

Reeves has no problem with his 2.5 G-head combo.... and don't go there about "it's a light car" 500 ftlbs at the wheels is more than enough. Use the right gears or converter, too...

Yes, the car makes all the difference and we don't go driving around with 500 ft/lbs all the time. The G-head is laggier/softer on a heavier, auto equipped van, end of story, PERIOD. If you race then this isn't a problem, on a DD, it sucks.

[OmniLuvr]

can you get any better pics of the combustion chamber? you said extensive work, in the ports i would agree, but cant really see the chambers...

gus used the G head because he could run the higher boost pressures and still run pump gas.he used to storm me around in his spirit on 22-25psi on 93 pump piss. that car was amazing......

This is why G heads are best
