wedge engine 821/697 the ultimate evolution.

<< < (9/9)

MRN I J:
Looking at the middle head (R16 821) the inlet / exhaust manifold bolt pattern is the same as a 697 early head, which means that the Else inlet manifold fits, just need to work out how to get the head to work with that inlet manifold - does it need port dividers welding into the manifold or not ?, a new manifold will need to be made to get the later head to work, but i've almost made uo my mind to make (fabricate ?) a twin Weber 45DCE Hermes conversion for the later head then I can race on similar / reasonably equal terms with the TC's in HSCC roadsports before I get too old and keep the rebuilt original engine on the shelf

MRN I J:
Help needed :
can anyone tell me the distance between the manifold face (on a wedge) & the fuel tank on an S2 as mine isn't in one piece just now

dakazman:
Can you project a line down from where you want the measurement to the glass body? I can install my tank and give to a measurement from there . I don’t have the engine or tank installed.
