mike why don't you talk to nate (addwestern here, 914-parts ebay ) about one of his running 1.7's example
then purchase those 2 ltr heads from jake ( because if you don't want them i know i would take them at that price), collect the bit's and pieces you need for the rebuild and build one hot little 1911. but change your cam. |
