    wanted: big-valve xflow head

    I'm after a big-valve head (valves larger than GT spec 39.5 and 34.7mm) Anyone fancy some extra cash for Christmas?

    if you already have modified heads that are half decent its not a lot of work to turn them into big valve heads, might be a better option

    £200 might just get you the parts to do it. I'd expect another £200 labour on top of that.

    sounds cheap

    sounds a lot
    .
    but a lot would depend on what sort of head/spec you are starting with

    You'd be better off with a decently ported head on standard size valves than a poorly ported big valve one, my old 1700 race engine made 165bhp/121ftlb on standard size valves.
