you could run these with injection also

I believe this is the same head that Webcon sell and which they claim flow up to 25% more out of the box than a good iron head (as well as being 75 % lighter).

www.webcon.co.uk

Does anyone have any idea how the Pierce heads compare with the Elder 7 ports being developed by GR?

The "as cast" Pierce is a lot better than stock but nowhere near as good as what I've seen of the Elder head.

That said, I've also bought a Pierce castings head from the same bloke as TK (very good to deal with too). It can be improved further with some judicial porting IMHO. Will wait for the dyno.

For those who are interested here are some pics of what comes with the kit!!!
Note that the ports are as cast and could do with some hand finishing.

do you mind screwing one of the spark plugs in and taking thos photo again?

do mind doing it for all of them?

I can't help thinking that the angle of all of the plug holes means the electrodes end up in different positions within the chamber for each cylinder. Does this mean uneven flame propogation could happen?

Probably not much consequence but it just makes it look haphazard even if they can prove it makes no difference.

Holding my $$ at the moment and thinking of the future with this kind of stuff .....

Don't hold those Aussie dollars too long. It's high at the moment against the greenback. A great time to buy.

yeah well i reckon it`s an absolute bargain,,, how can you do better "Bang for Buck" than that???

& then,,, just imagine a decent port job yeah???

if i wasn`t playing with """another""" fandangled engine-cyl/head conversion right now i`d even buy one

well done Ty & Dave & thanks for the "heads-up" (hee hee)

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

it is bloody cheap, and a pair of brand new webers with it.... drop the webers and with all that extra room behind the head for a turbo and a bit of injection.. hmmm

still digging out the flares too Matt - hassle me if you're in a hurry

I have trial fitted the plugs, but didn't take pics.
The placement of the spark plugs is good, but indexing is important.

that's what I was thinking... seems like the electrode would be very shrouded if it was in the wrong way up

thought that might be the case
