the colour is hemi orange, should be able to get it from any ampar outlet, ordered a cam kit last night, which was a kent supersport thinck it's bout 2down from race spec but i wonted some drivability, it is not the origanil head to the car it was already ported and polished when i bought it, and it aint a bad job either, im aiming for 100bhp, aint running no filters just runing straight through the trumpits, maybe a lil bit of mesh so lil birds dont get sucked in

Well done mate :nod: I had a 1.4 engine in my nova saloon last year, I had a 4branch and twin Webbers on it. When you add the 4 SPEED BOX :laugh: it flew like a rocket. Just imagen a 2 door nova saloon – no front grill stripped with 2 bucket seats on its bottom on 15’s. Yes when I raced a BMW his mouth hit the floor when he couldn’t keep up :laugh:
I cant wait to see it complete :nod:
What engine is it? 1.4 8v Spi or Mpi ????? any more spec on this :D

well yer it was a 1.4 spi (c14nz), umm full spec as if fink ive said most of it:twin weber 40's supersport cam 312 deg duration i fink, four branch decat sportex exhaust, 10mm leads poted polished head kent power pully, and a lightened flywheel at a later date. from what i have been reading in the vaux mags should be about 115bhp, once ive stripped it out should help alot too (will be getting two buckets and a half cage

carbs.
instead of haveing on throtle body for 4 cylindered you get one for each cylinder so you can tune each cylinder to have the correct fuel air ration then an avrage over the 4 cylibders.
also theres less air flow restriction of the air to the engine.

umm not sure at the moment but probablly around the 1500 mark maybe a lil more or a lil less, not unless im made an offer of it as itll wil sit in a week or two with will be running with the carbs and everything all it will need then is shocks exhaust and however made you decide to goo with the inside
