New Alloy Cylinder head for all A or A+ Series engines. Coming Soon!


What do you think?

 

Sexy hardware!

 

I'll be happy to field test it for you. You know... if you like. Anything to... erm... help.

 

At least that would give you a reason to pull the head off your MINI.

Nice head, but it looks like you'd have to cut a big honking hole in the bonnet for those Weber's to stick through. Probably costs the Queen's ransom too.

 

If it's similar to the AKM / Minisport cylinder head, they say that one will fit under a standard bonnet. The Arden 8 port is the one that requires bonnet modification.

* unless you're driving a clubman.

No prices yet. I've seen it posted 3 places now. It'll be interesting to see how it measures up to the Minisport price (I think £1400 (approx 2300USD?) or so for the basic head ready to go - minus carbs of course). Since this one is aluminum my guess is over 3 grand, which would put it in Arden 8 port territory I think.

 

I had dual webers on my '71 Datsun 510. They were cool looking, but in 1980, I lacked the resources to properly set up the 2-litre engine and consequently, the previous carb., a Weber 32/36 DGV downdraft, out-performed the twins. I'd guess a pair of 45 DCOEs today would set you back $1200?

Hmm... back to Minis--I sure like my ecu-controlled Vtec.
