<VV> 95 Head conversion (zero compression update 2)

[Dennis & Debbie Pleau]

If I understand correctly, you want to put 95 hp heads in place of 180 
heads on a turbo.  My understanding is the 95 hp heads have a better 
chamber design and it will result in less detonation.  Your results may 
vary.  They do need an oil return welded in one head.
