    Pop into avon path in croydon of the brighton road, and speak to wayne,
    He has one in a 105E that he has built.
    Anyone really, but if you get one with the coscast head is better, and get a set of ARP big end bolts.
    Big Rod usually has a few 07958209245
    Wayne WPE 07941582094.
    Im sure Gaz has one for sale as well cheap i will pm you his number


    Old skool forever
    Just don`t tell the wife
    how much it really costs!

    try to buy the last production of costcast heads (the ones who have the 2 mounts for the Wasted Spark coil on them) . These are not the same as the early ones With distributor. The early type have much smaller intake ports and as a resault much worst airflow
