re: crossflow heads.
8port or crossflow heads are also made for minis (and therefore
spridgets). They are repros or remanufactured Arden 8 ports. You
get the head, the cam(which is different than the 5 port style), the
intake, exhaust header and fuel injection setup for 2508
sterling...If you forego the injection, I think it is something like
1000sterling less...then you can install webers or 4 amals. The
head were in alloy or iron, I think you can only get the new ones in
iron.
I have seen this installation once...on a Landar R7 sports
racer(mini powered). It had the twin webers on long manifolds, a
S/C close ratio box and LSD and 14.5 to 1 compression...must have
been fun to drive.
