Ahemmm , guy's , back in your boxes ......
Now , how about my earlier question , will a 940 head fit onto an 850 block with the block pocketted to take the valves , I seem to remember something about an oilway being different but not sure . I do realise the head would need considerable shaving to get the compression back up amongst other things but I already have a massively shaved ex speedway head to start with .


"Y"... :? :lol:


Y not ....

Have the bits sitting around so might as well have some fun , shock a few people with what an 850 can do along the way .....

Well, reputedly (by whom, I dunno) a stock 940 head flows better than even a 295 head... :wink:
If ya got it, try it.... 8)
Not many heads flow WORSE than the 850 one!
