Z6/Y8 head on VX block?
Anyone ever do it? I'm pretty sure the VX has domed pistons and are low compression. This would probably be a good setup for mini me turbo. I would like to hear something on this.. 
Anyone have a GOOD VX block for sale?

Mini-Me set ups run a higher CR. Higher CR looks down on boost, cause boost loves a lower CR.
If you build everything right though, you'll be fine. This means money. If you don't have the money to do it right the first time, just do a mini-me w/o turbo. If you want turbo just run a straight Z6 or Y8 motor.
And from what I've heard at track meets, the mini-me conversion only gives between 8-11 hp....not a whole lot.
