Yeah I got an S motor looks a bit like that- it has a Fiat 124S twin cam head sitting on it..
Pity nothing lines up- head studs, water holes or the bores.... :lol: :?

thats a work of art mate.

can i test my new learned skills from my engineering design and manufacturing course?

i can say its a double over head cam, plugs are in the centre so its is a pent-roof cylinder or a hemi...
fuel injected? i dont see a carby, or is it a weber

can u tell us all about it?

ummmm, yeah, there are Twin webers sitting right there. But you have to look on the other side of the head.

Your absolutely correct, its a 16 valve double overhead cam. The crossflow 8 port design allows better flow charecteristics. KAD also do a similar line to my knowledge.

But umm, yer lookin at close to 10 grand for the top end, or 20 grand for the entire engine by the look of it.

Here's their linkhttp://www.7ent.com/sub.cfm?pageid=298&mainid=291&subid=

As far as I can see, that is a KAD (it says so on the cam cover!).

LMFAO, BUSTED

Yeah well, It could still be my new engine. I've just got pay for it or steal one. 180 Hp from a 1275 A+ is still ball tearing, diff breaking, wheel smoking power. And as I said, it's all bolt straight in, and modify the bonnet for the weber's.

And a new gearset, diff, drive flanges, disc brakes, etc etc etc.

HEHEHEHEHE, was worth it for a laugh.

Oh, but they do have 4 Speed close ratio A-series (not A+) gearboxes for $875US
