Or someone who just wants to look cool, me, me.
 
Really not too bad a deal. Dang thing is cheaper than my GT7 Longman Big Bore head with big valves and alloy ported intake with Big Bore HIF6.
:jester:

That cross flow set up has mine beat for bling effect for sure.

Dang it looks zoomy!
:devilgrin:
 
Look at the routing of his engine breather line, valve cover, timeing cover, mech, fuel pump cover. But where does it go?? Think must be to a catch can.
 
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 . . . :crazyeyes:
 
Geez, Mark! It's for th' sake of "Volumetric EFFICIENCY"! :smirk: :laugh:
 
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).
