very cool, dont let the others discourage you

i've seen e-series heads on a-series, that was pretty cool and apparently not too difficult

good luck! and yeah theres been a lot of talk of these things before and probably a few members currntly trying it

Did you say you had the valves opening and closing?


yes.they only do that in a bore 76mm or over though....

this head on the original 1600 bottom half makes 265hp well fully tuned, so maybe if i ever get this conversion done the N/A A series might see atleast close to those numbers.

They are pretty impressive numbers for a naturally aspirated 1600, I am keen to hear more about this Vauxhall engine.
