I'm not trying to "one-up" here, but a modern car with ALUMINUM HEADS and
ENGINE MANAGEMENT has a few advantages over a cast iron engine with
(likely) sub-optimal ignition timing (and the possible sharp edges).
These are two completly different animals.
Regarding TR6 heads, you can actually cut quite a bit and not introduce
sharp edges and you can "fix" the probs with a dremel tool and some
quality time.
