Just the stock flat top I believe. I am pretty sure this is the first time. This engine has been taken apart since factory. The car only has 96k on it.

the P90 will give you a 8.4 CR with the flat tops
and the E88 will give you 9.7 with the flat tops.

E88 I want out and only want $40+shipping for, youl need to cut the notches for the EFI tho

^ Hmmm...So the E88 is off of a carbed Z, I take it? Anyway I think I might purchase a professionally rebuilt head on Ebay. Oh, and before you say, stay away. This seller, has everything rebuilt by an expert shop. And he has a money back guranttee. And his feedback shows it. Also what all type of heads can I use on my n/a? He has N47, P90, P79 etc... I think he pretty much has all the different type of Datsun heads. Also his username has Datsun in it. lol

Only P79 and P90. I'd go for the high flowing P90 IMO

Everything else will raise it almost to the 10s in CR with a bit of a risk of pinging

Okay, yeah I think I will be safe. And stick with the P79. That is the stock head, I think it came with.

Yes, that is correct sir. Probably within a couple weeks. I will have the head. And another couple till I have the metal head gasket.

For what it's worth I have a P79 for $50 + shipping if you want it. It's not been rebuilt and may/may not need to be.

Yes, the P79 is the stock head for your car per your original post that it is an '82 non-turbo car.

Shoot me a PM or email if you are interested in the head.

^ Thanks for the offer. And I will probably hit you up in the future for other parts. Considering I have 4 280zx's. Anyway I purchased a professionally rebuilt P79 on Ebay. Got a great deal on it.
