$50. but they don't have any more.
nor do they have any more turbo heads. ("regular" heads they still have, i believe...)
they still have blocks, tho... and with a little "persuasion," i may be willing to go pick out a good one for ya.

The block is indistinct (E16 or E15) but the E15 head has smaller dish-shaped combustion chambers than the E16. I swapped an E15 head onto my E16 block to take advantage of that fact and gain compression.

only some E15 engines had the groovy heads... MPGs, Turbos... in this case they're toibo heeds, but the block (technically) is an E16.

Uh...if by groovy he meant "better than E16" then you either have a turbo or MPFI...thats all it means...its not really all that special if theres an E15 head on an E15 block, but if you have a "groovy" head on your E16, then your getting several performance enhancing features (larger intake bore, thicker casting, smaller comb. chamber) different than stock.

...what ecu and wiring setup are you gonna use then
or are you keeping it tbi?
