lots of motor questions for all you experts

Not 6,800, but it will spin higher than 5,000 at least.

I am wondering what the performance will be, as I assume the cam aint doing much at that RPM.


Guess the revlimiter is useless, but i never hit that

bump.. what is the best computer system for use with the 323 head? Will the 1.3 work okay? I know back in the glory days, the eta block and 323 head was a hot set-up, does anyone have any experience with it? Anyone done it? From what I hear, should be about 160 hp. Will I still have power down low or will i forefit from the bigger ports?

1.3 will work fine as long as you get all the parts.
the 323i uses l-jet or maybe early motronic. You'll get the bost of both worlds with the power.

Cool.. everything i needed to know.. Its great to have guys to talk to who know what they are doing.

I've already posted this request in another thread but what years/type of 323 head will work on a pre-'88 eta? I have the chance to get an '81 323 head and I have an '86 e. Will I gain anything? Also, I've read in this thread about "big port" 323 and "non-200 series castings", how's the quick and dirty way to tell the difference if you've only got pictures to look at? Thanks guys.

Don't forget that there are actually the "pre 05/86" eta and the "05/86 to 88"
the pre 04/86 eta had a single mass fw, which is hugely better.

Yeah, mine's a 2/86 eta so I should have the single mass FW. I'll know in the very near future...New clutch going in. :)
