    Pinto Alloy 2 valve head

    Is anyone running a Pinto 2 valve alloy head from Burton or other source? Any flow data out there?

    its a copy of the standard cast iron head in a different material, so flow wise no better than any iron head

    Dave Brooks engines makes sells one of their own design, the port angles are raised etc. I can't remember the price but it was less than one of their modified iron heads, Dave said that due to being their own design so much of the work is in the alloy casting to begin with, Still won't be cheap!

    I was doing a rally in Ireland, spoke with a competitor in the 2.1 8v class running an alloy blocked, alloy Brooks head 2.1 pinto.
    This chap claimed big power & it did appear to go very well indeed.

    Speak to Dave Brooks, he might share flow info with you.
