I'm chuffed to bits as heads this highly staged normally cost a fortune!

Now with these heads, my tvr "taraka" inlet manifold, ACT trumpet base and twin plenum i'm pretty much sorted for moving air in and out of my engine!

Just need a bigger bottom end now

but that can wait for a long time as i've spent enough money on my sodding car this year already!

Erm yes! I'm waiting for my girlfriend to leave college and get a job which will be next year then we're buying a house (shes only 20) so at the mo i'm on 25k ish a year and living at home meaning i can spend quite a bit on toys.

thats a good deal on them they usually go for shed loads of money. Now you just need a BIG engine to get them to run right.

Yup thats the downside, more money! I had the spare cash though and these things don't come up often so i thought i had best have a go while i can because if i were to wait until i did have a bigger engine i might've had to buy some outright new from someone which would have been stupid money! I'm skint now but it was worth it.

can't check that link at the moment as ebay is banned in this office i'm in.

However, on the topic of last minute bids I managed to get that flywheel/clutch assembly for £5 less than my maximumbid, despite numerous frantic last minute pretenders lol!

There's nowt like a bit of ebay rage! Mind you, spending all that does mean I have top wait longer to buy a hotwire wiring loom, which I did get outbid on!

Just recieved them and they're very very nice!

The ports around the valve guides are very big which leaves the guid quite exposed but it obviously works so its all good in my book!

speaking of ebay bids, I pt a bid on a monster intercooler before the weekend and totally forgot about it - ex-Zakspeed intercooler for £28! Cheers lol

As in Zakspeed crapi? Whats the item no?

chodjinn · Post by **chodjinn** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 4:36 pm

yeah, apparently so . . . although the listing didn't say for sure. Thought it was worth a punt!

Item no.: 300072419921

Bad thing is it's 18cm wide!!!! No way will that fit in the front end of the 'B. Ah well guess it'll have to wait for my next project if I ever finish the MG! (give you a clue, its small, British and generally a granny's shopping cart from the early 80s . . . lol).
