Merlin heads & side-draught swan-necks - testing the wat
Posted: Tue Dec 10, 2013 11:00 pm
Hi folks, Some years back I paid rather a lot of money for a pair of new, unused Merlin heads complete with rocker covers, head stud kit etc. I'm pretty sure I bought them from a forum member but my memory isn't quite what it used to be!
I had great plans for a nice 4.2 to fit into my (still) ongoing TR7V8 project, but in all honesty I very much doubt if I will ever get around to doing it and I now have other, more pressing projects for which a lot of cash is required (a custom-built recovery underlift unit and wrecker boom onto a Dodge Ram 2500!).
I am wondering what these heads are worth? I also have a pair of swan-neck inlet manifolds, designed for quad-webber side-draughts or similar, un-drilled, complete with remote thermostat housing, that I was going to use with the Merlin heads and maybe manufacture up a pair of "log-plane" inlets with a throttle body each, I believe these were marketed originally by John Eales?
If anyone has any idea of value of these items I would be grateful for your input before I decide to advertise them or not, thanks.
