Hope it meets with your approval.

What can you say it's a KAD head that's all that matters...

But I would go for injection.....

[Artful Dodger]

That looks bleeding' lovely!

I would love to go for injection, but to be honest it's running in sprints and hills so it will be fine on carbs, injection will make it more driveable at lower revs but it's never there lol. And with the amount of money i have spent so far i couldn't justify spending even more money on injection at this time. It is however machined in such a way that it can be injected at a later date.

That's fair enough then...

What's it going in?

[tvrdave]

Lovely!

Would love a KAD head for my engine, but can't afford one just at the moment, luckily for me i have a nice insurance pay out coming my way

How much power are you hoping for?

What gearbox spec's have you got?

Engine spec?

Thanks alot,

Mike!

Damnn that things sexy

[tvrdave]

Thanks for the kind replies. The engine and gearbox spec are huge. Rather than go into it all bit by bit, basically its the all steel ultimate spec full race KAD engine with no expense spared, although don't tell her indoors lol. It sits on a 4 speed dog box with LSD and outputs for some very expensive driveshafts.


I use Weber Alpha 3d mappable ignition, electric water pump, oil / water heat exchanger, front mounted alloy rad etc etc.
