tbh I wanted a younger one but that was going to involve me taking it out of the guys car and paying him £80! (yeah rite)

got the guy to check the manafold and he said the stud wasn't snapped, it had just unscrewed which is handier than a handy thing.

note the newer style thermostat houseing too which means my ported head can go on this one. (get in there!!)

even if it were older style head, you can pull the pipe out and use the housing.

yea, i know JB but i dont have the bolts to fit the housing to the head which is why i never fitted that head to the last cabby engine.

this way i can just swap the bits over and clean them up blah blah blah. (the useual shit) you know what im gona do.

yes neal, i hope this one lasts a bit longer than the last one too. lol

maybe mate but the ones that i had weren't longenough to go through the housing and screw into the block, so i put an older style head on as it was easier at the time.
