well in between sitting on the loo and throwing up most the day managed to strip head and start to modify it

basiclly just removing the exhaust bosses and making the casting a bit smoother around the sharpe egde on the roof of the exhaust passage

inlets will just get a clean up and reshaping at the back of the valve throat

then will get the chambers cnc'ed to give me the extra cc's needed to lower the compression ratio

spent about 15mins today mocking things up

as you can see supercharger will be mounted at the front with the altenator fitted below it

running a standard mpi inlet manifold so have all the sensors and injectors etc

so all i really need to buy is bottom pully and make some mounting brackets and them plumb in from supercharger to inlet manifold

have the throttle body from my old rover 820 t series turbo which will mount before the super charger

pic not very good poor lighing but you get the idea
