xflow 8v

ok the guy on ebay is telling me that this will head will fit without and mods.

the head is here and is an AKL engine code

sure everything attached to the head wont fit and the serious lack of the water outlet on the front of the pb head.

would it be a serious amount of work to make it fit?

 

PM oakgreen88 as he has a x-flow setup on his 8v!

 

or look for his thread about the project and see if he mentions the same engine code?

 

No...Will uses a 3A 2L bottom end with the x-flow head..

He will know if things match up/what needs modifying though

 

looks very similar

It's Designadubs selling it so just do what everyone else on here would
do: buy it then complain a lot if it doesn't fit.

 

If Matt says it'll fit without mods then..........it will fit without mods.

 

see they charge you an extra 4% if you use paypal, thought that was not allowed with ebays rules

 

best to ring em and thoroughly check

 

the head will meet up to an earlier block, but you will need to use a metal head gasket and 2 of the head bolt holes need to be enlarged, but i do think Matt has already done this as he modified mine to fit!

obviously your inlet isnt going to fit, you will need to run it on carbs or TBs, but the exhaust manifold does fit,

hope this helps

 

Ditto.

Matt don't f**k around.

 

I'm currently thinking about cross flow, is there absolutly no way you can make it run on k-jet?

 

what about the water system i can make manifolds or down down the carb route, its the water system that is bothering me

 

what do you think is the problem with the water system? the head/block water ways and oil ways all line up, or do you mean pipework for the rad?

 

the manifold that hold the two temp senders on the front of the head isnt there. or so it would appear!

 

bet you could, just need to bodge the k-jet throttle body onto the existing manifold

 

correct, they're on the side of the head, look on the pic and follow the top rad hose from the rad to the head....

 

spot on!

think ill go down this route but not @ 215 quid for a head.
