Someone on the Spridget list has one on his car. Can't remember his name, but he has a web page with the install.

That is the same guy(Larry M) that did Bugzuki. He is NOT the one selling the head. The seller used his pictures (without permission).

For those who covet "overkill" IMHO! :lol:
Nothing wrong with overkill, in fact, it's basically all about the overkill, sometimes.
But dual Webers on a Spridget street car???
Oh well . . .

Okay so I would think it would have helped out more to have given the head four exhaust ports instead of three.
What is the reason our engines only get the three tubes instead a nice string of four headers coming out? Is it something about not having enough room for four flanges?

I believe it was due to cooling efficiency in part. In ~theory~ holes 2 & 3 are each using the middle tube one rev apart, no "interference" for the two exhaust strokes.
I think the available cam choices is the reason the three port design was retained in the crossflow. And the water jacket feed points would be problematic too.
Those are just a WAG on my part, Lotus (Mike Costin & Pete Duckworth) designed a DOHC head for the Ford Kent block with separate in and out holes (but the cam in the block was only kept as a jackshaft, driving just the dizzy and oil pump).
