Why not just add 3 - 4 grams of solder on to the 'not repaired' one to even it up?

Just wondering what sort of price the GX exhaust manifolds are going for these days?
Have any been sold recently?
Are any currently for sale??

A12 rods are 121.5mm centre to centre
A14 / A15 rods are 133mm centre to centre.
Also you might be interested to know that the A14 / A15 block is 14mm taller than the A12 block.

They can be installed either way.

Does anyone know if 1200 Coupes are accepted under the historic touring car regs?
I know that sedans are but have a friend that would like to do a coupe.
Also, anyone have any 1200 coupes or sedans for sale let me know. Only need a reasonable (not pristine) condition that would suffice for use to build a race car.
Cheers

Sorry 1000Coupe but I'd say you would be wrong.
Basic laws of Physics say that energy can neither be created or destroyed it can only be converted. Therefore to generate electrical energy the alternator needs energy input, in this case energy from the combustion of fuel.
So for whatever output is required from the alternator the engine supplies at least that amount bearing in mind that friction in the belts, bearings, etc. needs to be accounted for also.
All that being said and referring back the original question in the post, an electric water pump will increase horsepower output of the engine.
This is because the electric pump is spinning at a contant RPM that would likely have the same power requirements as a conventional water pump spinning at 3000 RPM. That means you would not need to rob the engine of the extra power required to spin the conventional water pump beyond that RPM and therefore translates to more available horsepower at the wheels.
It should also be noted that there is a reductional in frictional losses from the conventional water pump belt and some of the inertia from the water pump is removed from acting directly on the crank.
Hope that makes sense.
