Problem going with headswap before exhaust?

Ok.........so if Hammer has no qualms about this then let's see.......

(1) Shorties are considerably easier to install while doing the headswap. Bolt them to the heads while the heads are out of the car. Drop the assembly in and bolt the heads down.

(2) Regrind cams I can do. My DTA cams are $250 a set. I have a couple of nice grinds for street/strip type daily drivers. Good gains and no tuning issues. I can also get you Crane regrinds if you like for $350 (cams, lash caps, shipping).

(3) I can lower the compression ratio if you desire. There are no drawbacks to running the 10.5:1 that you'll get with the swap. You simply have to use 93 octane. If you plan on using a supercharger I can lower the compression to 9.25:1 with combusion chamber mods. Not a problem.

With all these mods (including the Bullitt intake) you could realistically add 100 rwhp to your '96-98 car. This would be possible if you keep the 10.5:1 compression ratio.

I'll PM you with a quote on the total price. Don't want to push my luck too far!
