From memory (I would need to check my measurements at home in my little record book) it was about 1.65/1.68 inch2.

There is a mob in enzed working on billet alloy blocks that'll go 250+ cubes.
Cheers Tony...

Those billet blocks look outstanding... They are long over-due... I'd love a 250ci red motor with JZED and 55mm webers on e85. I think with the right R&D someone like you could get close to 500hp out of one N/A. Costly exercise but so cool...
That would be a long stroke type of deal or solid if big bore?

I believe the billot blocks have increased bore size (like .200 over through better wall thickness) and increased stroke. Not sure of exact specs but it's not just a longer stroke setup...

that seems fairly small for a 1.90 valve? is it an amount of material thing?

I think I mixed up the throat diameter from the CSA, the throat diameter was about 1.68 (again from memory)... I have it all written down at home just haven had a chance to pull out my records. It was 12 months ago that I did all the specs on the head.

Yes I did, what an awesome setup... I mentioned earlier that I reckon a JZED head on a billet block close to 250ci could go close to 500hp, looks like those NZ boys have close to cracked it...
