i think its just direct bolt up i oredered it but stll havnt got it it should b hear soon
It states that you can get them assembled and un assembled. If you get the assembled one all i think you need to swap over is the rockers, and maybe some new pushrods since its all apart.....hypsy should know or shoot patriot an email.
Yea it is a direct bolt up if you get the assembeled head, you just need to install rockers and pushrods, which if youre upgrading for better flow, i recommend 1.6 rockers and chrome moly pushrods... otherwise is a simple 2 hour or so install, very straightforward.
where would i get the rockers and pushrods at
the 1.6 rockers i got from someone selling on the org... but sumitt racing has them and crane cams (those are the ones i got) has them... howell automotive sells the crane cams rockers.
The only thing you need to modify is the top of your valve cover needs to be ground up a bit to accomidate for bigger rockers... other than that its a simpla as old ones out new ones in, its not as simple as that, but howell has an explanation that helped me a bit (altho i did it a bit different than they describe)

Matt: Find me some PNs for the rockers and pushrods and I'll cut you a deal on those too.

There shouldn't be anything else in need of replacing, if all the work you are doing is rockers.
When it comes time to get a patriot head for the car, can you get a deal on the patriot head hypsy?
Have you looked in the GP forum?

Well i dont know why people never ask me since i do have the 2200 Patriot Performance head and i post on here regularly not like the other people i looked up that have the head and dont post on here anymore. But its a direct bolt on, you need another like $200 in parts such as new head bolts, a new gasket set, and new pushrods. But that was through Carquest and if hypsy can hook you up go for it. Also, i wouldnt suggest getting the roller rockers through Howell, it was a giant pain in the ass for me. First i got the wrong lift ratio, had to send em back, took forever to get the right ones, blah. But its a solid addition to the power band, made great midrange power.
So what all does this item do for the car exactly? Help just midrage power?
Matt... Dude save your money really. You much better off getting it done at a shop. I got my 2200 head Ported and polished and flow benched for $400.00 If its about needing a spare head I have 1 here for you. I have like 3 of everything for the 2200. lol
I forgot your out in Cali. I keep thinking your still here in IL.. My bad... Well just shop around and do what you can then..
Why post in here
and in a new thread?
Pick one or the other.
