*surprised*



I'm building my NA 1380, with 11cc dished Omegas. All the work done to the block, crank, rods etc has been done by MED so far.
Cam is an MED XT (basically a 286)

It's a fast road engine for the Marcos, with occasional trackday use.

I now need a good 11 stud head with 22cc Chambers to make it all work together well.

I've seen MED's Fast Road / Competition head, and I have to say it's a work of art, but at £625 it's a lot of money.

So how do they compare with other stage 3 / 4 heads out there? If they are head and shoulders above them (pardon the pun), then I'll go and spend the extra £300, or is it too good for what I am doing?

Any advice most welcome.

You can buy from one the likes of MED etc. Or you could try PM'ing BENROSS or Turbo_Phil on here. Either of them should be able to help you out at a better price.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

I didn't say that, just picked up on other peoples implications lol

Back on topic. Benross has litely fettled my head and did a top job of it. He also opened the chambers up and did a quick refresh on the van's head. Again, another top job.
