Sirius > Sirius Dash Conversion - seeking advise.

Post by NZStarion »

Hi,
I am after some advise on converting my Sirius (8 Valve) to a Sirius Dash (12 valve) on my 1983 Starion
From what I have read it appears that the Sirius Dash head will directly bolt on to my current block, which is great, but will I need to carry out other mods to make the conversion successful?
I look forward to your replies
Cheers

Hello fellow Kiwi :)

The bottom cam pulley is the same as the VR4 one from memory. So thicker than the starion g63 by around 6mm. And the bottom fan belt pulley is a different off set to compensate for the thicker cam pulley.
