Looking at fitting a 1441 kit, was goin to leave the head alone and just dialing in std cams....
Can anyone advise me of any short comings of just increasing capacity.
Not chasing outright horsepower just want to give it more grunt in the bottom and mid range area.
Thanks Gareth

No short comings with mine just a bit extra HP, just don't go to high on the compression if you want to run pump gas

The pistons are JE 13:5:1.. ok ?
Mate get the head done with cams to take advantage of the 1441.
Or you could wait a while as my block pistons head and cams will soon be for sale.

You would need to check valve guide clearance, i believe there good to .395 or so lift but if getting close its always good to check , and not hard to drive the guides in deeper while the head is off
Would need upgrade valve springs from APE also,
You getting the piston/cyl kit from APE ?
