the standard pistons and lostfoam head are my engine's weak points, so Phase II will eliminate them both
I also will be adding the Ferrera double valve springs whilst fitting the saab head

dude said:Winstar said:speedster said:Yeah, I got the SAAB head OK. It's configured with SAAB turbo cams. The sand cast gives the head a smoother finish on the inner surfaces, less air friction I reckon.
The main advantage of the sand cast head is the material is much stronger than the lost foam casting used on the z22se.
Do you know if there's any other mods needed to fit it to the z22se?
No modifications that needs any bigger efforts to solve.
A cover for the end of the other camshaft. Z22Se has 1 long and one short cam and SAAB has 2 long ones.
A new valvecover.
Beside that i dont see any more to do.
