Author Message   Saltyblaster Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 02:15 pm:        I'm in need of a used Blast head & cyl for a Bonneville project. These will be re-conditioned and used as spare back ups. Thanks & have a great day.   Thomas_lindemann Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2006 - 11:45 am:        Dont Balst use XB Heads? If so I know i have a cylinder and maybye a head i will have to look and see if it is a front or rear   Saltyblaster Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2006 - 02:02 pm:        Thanks Thomas ... it's my understanding the XB head does not have the same mounting points to the frame as the Blast head. I'm looking to match a another setup from NRHS. The barrel needs to be a 3.50". that has not been bored yet. Any finish on the cyl is fine with me. I appreciate your helping.   Sarodude Posted on Sunday, January 29, 2006 - 01:06 pm:        There are more differences than just the mounting. If I remember right, the head is basically the Lightning head (not the XB or Thunderstorm) with different mounting lugs cast into it. There are 2 minor obstacles to bolting on an XB head. The front mount needs to be slightly narrower for the XB and, of course, the rear heim joint mount. To mount a Thunderstorm head, I think the only thing you'd need is the heim joint mount. Lots folks have fabbed up a bracket and called it a day. -Saro   Saltyblaster Posted on Monday, January 30, 2006 - 09:28 am:        Thanks Sarodude ... That's good to know, but I prefer to use a Blast head as the valve sizes are somewhat radical between intake and exhaust per turbo.   Thomas_lindemann Posted on Monday, January 30, 2006 - 02:52 pm:        I have two cylinders would like to sell them as a pair what are they worth to you? stock bore   Saltyblaster Posted on Monday, January 30, 2006 - 05:27 pm:        Thanks for the response Mr. Lindemann. I've sent you a Email. Still need a used Blast Head!
