Re: New heads available?

[Glenn Merrell <gmerrel@domain.elided>]

Hello All,
	Well, I must say that at £1985 plus shipping, I'd opt for a complete
performance rebuild of an engine for less cost with a warranty instead.  Buying
these heads is about $3235+ US, would do one heck of an engine job at a good
shop.  Nice jesture to do the retooling, but I don't think they will make it in
the market unless they buy up all the old cylinder heads and distroy them,
making their heads the only ones around.

Regards,
Glenn  Merrell
