The 291 feulie heads were fair performance heads 35 years ago. But chances are

that they`ve been machined a couple times ( at least )m, had a few valve jobs

etc...so to salvage them into anything useable is very expensive. Even a decent

set isn`t worth much nowadays because off the shelf Vortec truck heads flow

more, and make a ton more HP and torque for $450 brand new,. It would cost you

that much to ,make these old heads work half as good. The 291 heads often

didn;t have accessory holes on them. They were common on 327 Impala`s, camaros,

some corvettes. Used on the 250hp motors mosty. That was 250 in the OLD

measure. That same 1968 250 hp motor makes about 175 under the new standards.

So a 250 2004 motor makes a LOT more power that a 1968 250 hp motor. The new

vortec heads will easily support 400 hp. You`d have to spend a fortune on those

old 291 heads to get even close. Take `em if you have no hope of ever getting

your cash. Old heads are better than nothing.

Title: Men Are Back, Armed with Problems, and a Repertoire of Worries

The SX4 - The men in black

The SX4 - The men in black

Well the headline maybe disappointing for many who own the SX4 and all men, but I do need to mention that the SX4 has some cool properties as any men would do. If one compares the SX4 with the erstwhile Baleno, which the SX4 replaced, it is silly to do so as the SX4 sedan is brilliance personified in comparison and built on an all-new platform. Sporting an Italian design, the SX4 has been developed as a crossover of designs for developing markets. Maruti has also introduced the all new aluminium M-series engine (M16A) for this car.

The SX4 looks pumped up shoulder to shoulder when compared with its predecessor, slightly longer I guess, much taller and wider. The well designed cabin looks massive and carries on over the boot which has ample boot space. the bonnet is steeply raked and there is plenty of room for passengers to park themselves both in the front and the back seats. The looks (both interiors and exteriors) which could be the best fit for the song – hey muscular, hey popular, spectacular…. A stunner when it comes to looks. The steering is slender and there are lots of nooks for storage in addition to the twin glove-boxes.

But pappu can’t dance sala as that’s not all that you would look for in this segment and a clear benchmark would be the arrow headed Honda City. As an automobile freak and having driven the Honda city from their initially launched model, I have fallen in love with the Japanese elegance called the City. Maruti is well-aware of this fact and ensured that the SX4 is not an ‘also-ran’ vehicle. It comes fully loaded and is available at an attractive price. So, is it good enough to give a run for the City at the helm?

McLaren returned back by its new monster McLaren MP4-12C . Behind the tub sits a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine producing around 600 horsepower and 433 lb-ft of torque, offering what McLaren claims is the highest horsepower to CO2 ratio of any internal combustion engine on the market – gasoline, diesel or even hybrid. Contrary to earlier speculation that suggested Mercedes could continue furnishing its erstwhile partner with at least the engine blocks while producing its own SLS supercar and furnishing Pagani as well, McLaren says the unit was developed entirely in house. The bespoke mill features a flat-plane crank, dry sump and can rev up to 8,500 rpm, though 80% of the torque is said to be available from as low as 2,000 rpm. That ought to be good for a 0-60 time in the low threes and a 200+ mph top end.
