Yeah, I'd forgotten about that as well! Definitely an interesting combo cobbling that lot together into one...

I had one in April for just under 1k. Baskets don't give you any interest on it though

having looked into the reverse head more and more it isnt going to be suitable yeah it looks great with the itb's sticking out the front of the engine and i may do it just for that reason at some point in the future.
There is however a limit to the horsepower that will come from that as valve angles and maximum cam lift limits and the fact they have tended to go bang in a big way every now and then

all make it not a real viable option.
The Itb's will be going into my cupboard for now and wont be sold,

however a charged lude has been done there are a couple of jrsc builds either done or being done and there is a turbo build or 2 on here.
So what would be a great engine build seeing as the reverse head was lifted from racing history it seems right that i should lift another idea from the history of motorsport for my engine build from the era of Group B.
I have my engine builder in place just need a few more bits like an uprated fuel pump and some other bits then its time to push the blue beauty into a garage and let the greasy handed hairy arsed spanner monkeys pull the engine to bits greased lightening stylee

then bodywork and paint.
oh yeah answers on a postcard for the type of build
