Wanting to swop,I have a pair of low compression ported heads on a 5lt powers Taraka engine in a Griff of mine, which are just what you would want for a turbo/forced induction engine, which mine isn't and was just wondering if there was any mileage in a thought I would be able to swop them with some one who has high compression one's going down the Forced induction route . What's me chances ? Does anyone know of a griff or chim heading down the forced induction route either turbo or super charged. Is it realistic to think a swop might be of interest or shall I just buy some Rover heads off the bay and get them ported up myself.

I have just bought a race griff for Debbie to have a go at some trackdays ,see how she gets on. If she don't like it I will sell it on. It used to have a super charger but no longer runs that and as a consequence is a little below power with the low compression heads. The car has been racing in future classic's and DTEC , it's on the button at the moment but it could do with the right heads on to make it well competitive in class.

Ah, makes sense!

Let me know when Debbie makes her debut as you won't have anyone to make the bacon sarnies!

What CC heads do you need for your build? I've got quite a few.
hi bobby,

I need 28cc heads, I will be taking the heads off the engine to measure on Wednesday with a fair wind behind me.
