If it has to be one of those 3 heads than defanitly the Indy...but what ahout a.w8 or w9?



I have W9's sitting on my shelf BUT the cost even cutting corners where I can it still adds up fast and exceeds what I could do with Indy.

As Brian said I would need to get a 48* block at $2200-2600 ad $2000 for machining that it will need. Ad $250-300 for AN Hoses and Fitting for cooling. $200-250 for an AN to Radiator Manifold, $1350 for T&D Rockers, $400-500 for an oil pan, $600-700 for Lifters, $500-800 for Lifter Bushings. ETC ETC!!!

When I have pretty much everything except the rotating assembly and heads. That's a lot of money I shouldn't have to be spending for what I want to do.

OH and the fact that the W8&9's have no place on them to mount Accessories of any kind. At least the Indy's come with LA mounting holes and the Magnum holes can be added (or even ordered from Indy) as needed.
