Default 531 head

I'm going to be doing an engine rebuild in the near future and wondered if it's worth trying to source a 531 head ? Or am I just as well with the standard 530 one that's on it ? I'm not building anything massive power wise only about 200 to 250 bhp

Cheers, Mark

In that case Mark you would be better off just porting and polishing the 530 so it flows better than a standard 531.

U can get 350bhp on a stock 530 with a better cam obviously, so don't worry about doing anything for 250bhp other than an A/V cam.
