benefits :
can run twin 40 or 45mm dellorto/webers ,
better flow
4 exhaust ports
disadvantages
when installed in a roundie u need a huge bonnet bulge to clear them.
you forfeit your current carb and exhaust set up as none of it fits an 8 port head.
initial cost:
head $ 3500
extractors $400
inlet $250
dual carbs $400+
dyno tune upto $1000 depending how many sessions you run.
if you are still interested ken elder& sons in sydney make new 8 port heads for $3500 plus manifolds and freight. email [email protected]
for more info .

I'll assume you mean a pushrod 8 port, not KAD twin cam 16V megahead... :wink:

First U need $$$ cubic....

Benefits- bit more torque, bit more power, lots of pub points, pretty sound with 4 separate carb throats a-suckin'...

Disadvantages:
Apart from head you need a new camshaft, 2 Webers or whatever, new exhaust headers, etc etc.

Arden 8 port head- you can get from MiniSpares UK. Not cheap..

Elder 8 port head is made in Sydney. Cheaper, but still expensive...
If you want it to GO, get Russell Engineering (in Sydney) to port it and flow test it. 8)

I feel your pain, i want one too, i think im in the advanced states of madness where one starts thinking about boring out sparkplug holes to be inlets, reshaping combustion chambers, relocating plugs, closing original inlets and making a 7 port head :twisted: i could still use my extractors too, heh, i think its a pipedream though, for the time, energy and effort i could hire myself out as a manwhore and buy a real 8 port head, who knows if i was good i might even get enough doe for a KAD megahead with change for an LSD :shock: ...... Maybe ill just try hunt down something on my holiday to england at the end of the year....

Hey Gareth just mill one out of an alloy billet. :P
Can't be too hard- Sainty Engines do with their V8 drag & race engines it all the time. :lol: They had even made some replica Lancia V4 motors from billets, last time I was there..

OOOwwww :shock: 8)

2,300 +200 for final bid + 500 Aud for postage and 2 week for arrival
+1000 to 1500 for engine mods on a Jap original low milage :oops: The wife would shoot me but i'm sure she would mis if the Olympics swimming was still on.
but very tempting
On a road car I'm creaming (sorry Dreaming) :roll:

Manwhore sounds ALOT easier to me!

111.01 pounds postage. landed here (say) $2,700. Sell webers for say $500. So you got a template from which you will produce a few (international patent law pending) heads to offset the initial cost. What was that about creaming..... I mean dreaming again......
