    I need head........ Information


    I have a 1979 Dodge D 50 with a G52B power plant. It has the "jet" head on it in which I deleted the jets.
    I am looking for a no jet head and see on the webz that there is a new 4G54 head for a fork lift () that is available.
    It's not cheap ($875) but - will it work on my 2.0 G52B weezer engine?
    I am somewhat thinking that it will fit, but the Mitsubishi gurus here know better than I do.

    I am planning to run a dual Weber side draft assembly for this engine which I already have. The intake came from the Brits, the carbs are Chinaman knock offs that look really good.

    And - anyone know of a performance (!) cam for these units?

    I know the Aussies have done a lot of performance work for these, but I am not sure where to look.

    Any information would be completely appreciated.
    Muchas gracias!

    We purchased a non jet valve head G54B & per my request they installed a new hydraulic lifter valvetrain (these made in China heads come with solid lifter valvetrain)... We are 100% totally satisfied with their excellent service & their high quality cylinder head...

    Maybe they can answer some of your questions Hero ~ my member profile page has a "cylinder head" photo album that might help you as well...

    I am looking for a replacement head (non jet) for my D50 (MM) with the Astron G52B (4G52?) engine.
    I have a dual side draft Weber intake and carbs for it, so I need to buy a head that is compatible with the intake side of a jet head.

    Are there any (performance - higher compression) pistons available for these engines?

    I know the Aussies and Kiwis had plenty of performance stuff for these, but I don't seem to be able to locate any such parts.
    I would also like to buy a performance cam - but I guess that's asking too much.
    Thanks for any input!

    Thanks ^^^
    It is a 2.6 head and from what I've read, it will lower compression - ok for a turbo, but I be will trying to raise compression.
    I would really like to find a set of higher compression pistons and a good high lift/duration camshaft.
    Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
