I have self-esteem issues, pointing out errors by others makes me feel better about myself, it's like self-help therapy!:D

Latest plan of action is to skim the head for higher compression, SU carb at some point and possibly a new exhaust along the lines of Pankys.

Good plan, well worth it. Before you skim the head have a word with Tim about gas flowing it[}:)]

how much can you safely skim of the cylinder head ? What are the advantages of Gas flowing?

would the standard manifold modified be OK or should I go for a custom jobbie like Pankys?

Questions Questions Questions.

I'll leave the techy bits to Tim but gas flowing inproves the breathing still further - more efficient - more power. Rootes did an SU manifold on the Hunter range - it won't be as good as Tim's masterpiece for Harvey but it will do the job without chopping holes in the inner wing:I
This sounds like a a big advert for Tim:I but he can also modify your standard inlet manifold to take an SU.
Here's a Hunter engine with SU - but it might be an alloy head which has different porting and stud centres to yours.

Will, i have skimmed 2mm off without problems although you do have to slot the holes in the tappet cover afterwards ;)
Standard heads/manifolds are not as good as they could be, so porting them makes them more efficient at getting things in and out, which = more torque/bhp/bmep, better B.S.F.C (more bhp per pint of fuel), improved economy and less thermal losses. Cooler running if the exhaust gasses get out faster and less pumping losses :)
Standard manifolds should be seperated from each other as the inlet gets way too much heat and power suffers.
S.U can be fitted on the STD manifold with a sidedraught conversion.

Hi all, would this motor slot straight in using my gearbox/ propshaft e.t.c. and if so is it that much better than the standard motor i have now?

Sorry to hijack your thread will!

Not sure if it's the same as mine but will need a few things from your Commer engine swapping over to make it go in. If it is an ally head engine then the exhaust will need a bit of fettling but easy enough. You will need to ditch that air filter as it doesn't look like it will fit in the engine bay but a nice K&N should do the job.

Its just hit me that I've got to raise £2000 for the insurance next year, I don't know what to do I'm not sure if I can afford that. [V]:([xx(][xx(]
