Hi Guy's,

I have purchased another Torana SLR four door as I could not decide between the two or four so I now have both, anyway I wish too do some work to this motor thou not goes as full on in the bling department as I am with my two door SS as that will be getting some track work etc & a real hiding if I can handle it, I would like too put some more poke into the SLR in the way of stroking the motor from 308-355 & I am wanting too retain the original look somewhat with the old school tin rocker covers & I have spoken with Yella Terra & I was informed that they have a head called a dash 2 that they supply the Muscle Car Masters series & that they will fit my tin covers & I can also run a Roller Rocker also which is really good too as I will have respectable 320-350 HP at the back wheels as I have a good engine builder mate.

I was wondering if anyone has heard of this head that Yella Terra are selling & if anyone has used this head & what they think of them? I am under the belief that I would be best in changing the manifold as that will give me better flow for the whole package as I do not really care about having too change the manifold as I am just wanting to keep the original rocker covers & modify the snorkel box for better airflow or just change that over when I take it to cars shows for the sort of semi original look.

Thanks guys for any help.....

Take a look at the Targa hatch thread http://www.gmh-toran...1&hl=targa&st=0
Mark is using the YT alloy heads
I think his is heavily modified -3's though (high port)
Note the inlet manifold spacer to lift it up for better flow into the ports

All the best to you....
