whats people mpg with a 1275 , ported head and 276 cam ? i get 120 to about 35 quid

35 quid is what, 6 gallons, so 20mpg. That's poor, but it'll obviously depend on driving style/conditions/speed/gearing. On a long run, i'd be hoping for 35mpg+ as a minimum

Maybe look at tyre pressures, brakes binding ...stuff like that too. Even if you have a lead foot 20 is on the low side!

At the current prices, even ones in need of a rebuilt are selling for £300, I'd say worth it

They can be extremely fast can't they. Very useful when the car's laid up waiting for parts! I also find Wood and Pickett very good.
