So I have pulled the head of the 950 to check it out and replace the by pass and it is for all intensive purposes,from what I can see original and no skim previously done as measures 2.75 close enough. As the head of the 1098 was 2.684 is there anything left in it to skim or should I just take the chance and fit on the 950. I want the 950 to have a bit more poke and the 1098 has larger valves,or should I just get the 1098 inlet valves fitted into the 950 head,if this is possible and I will swap in the cam from the 1098 also, I want to remain with the original engine currently for rego reasons to avoid engineering costs etc.I also have a twin card manifold so considering twin 1 1/4 SU carbs and extractors with 1 1/2 exhaust. I am aware of the Vizard book but am not looking to spend large money on an A series as it will get changed eventually.Also,how do you identify a head,I assume the 1098 head is a 12g202 (?) but this number is not present on my,the head I took of my 1098 says 2A629 and it has larger valves than the head from my 950,the head from the 950 has no part number,it does not even say MOWOG like the other head,the only ID is an embossed B and ECAM4004,I am easily confused so is it a 950 morris head or what??
how can you work to a budget when you own a morris minor?
