Currently 5 BMWs polluting the driveway and garage... Fortunately a new deck and lots of new concrete means I'm soon to have plenty of covered parking and work space. Good excuse to get more sh*t boxes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMTHUG 1063 Report post Posted September 9 bought some ITB's for my e30 Stroker build. Now to get my spare head ported and polished and some oversized valves fitted. Will be running a 292 cam with oversize eccentrics and heavy duty rockers. Not sure whether to spend the money on a roller rocker conversion kit or put that money into some custom pistons for higher compression 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil McCauley 394 Report post Posted September 10 Nice one SJ, dude was practically giving them away at that price! What size are the trumpets? I reckon pistons over roller rockers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon pistons over roller rockers. I could not say no at that price to be honest bud. I have no idea what size the trumpets are but I am not fussed as I will probably change them anyways for some polished brass ones ;). Here's my old man's stroker we built with the same ITB's. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted September 10 I'd go with the roller rockers, but I have a bit of a 'thing' for them. To be fair, it is probably simpler to rebuild the top end than it is to replace pistons, rods or crank. And the top end can always be done later. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm rebuilding another engine so I have it all in bits at the moment. I will probably get some high compression pistons instead of the roller rocker conversion 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
