well it wouldn't normally but this head has had the bolt holes taped into the head it doesn't show on the photo (becasue the gasket is in the way) but the head also has the centre bolts for the A12 setup, the ones that sit above the intake manifold. all it need are the studs removed from the A14 pattern and some put into the A12 holes.
Thanks dogeman I have an A12 manifold somewhere I'll dig it out.
seems this motor was built by a speedway guru maybe the A12 head on a A14 is a secret A series hotup trick!
I'll let you guys know how it goes, should be putting it all back together sometime this week.
Note: measured the rods same length in this engine as the tomei ones I bought
