What's currently available?
CB had VW Mexican heads on their website but I just got off the phone with them and they are NLA. For stock heads they have Autolinea Brazilian and not sure the friend will take them.

Even the Mexican 043 heads were 35.5x32. Stock FI was 33x32. The 32s had a larger stem and may have been sodium filled. I've used carb'd 35.5x32 heads before on a FI engine before because there was nothing available. They MAY not last as long as the originals did though.
If you do go with 35.5x32 heads, just use some aftermarket head with stock sized ports.

I saw those last night and have a email in to John C. to see if they are in stock.

inventory shows we have them on the shelf, but I can't verify until Monday.

Awesome John... i'll get back to you as soon as I know what the guy wants to do.
He's under the impression that it's not hard to find OE German FI heads since he's concerned with the quality of the stock Mexican ones.
