Thanks this kit looks awesome think I will be putting it on my shopping list

What colour are you planning on painting everything?

 

It would be nice to do the whole thing in MOWOG green and leave the top machined face of the head bare like a pre A+ 1275 head. 

[mk1leg]

well it is going green but some of my friends think leave the head ally ..............

[yeti21586]

I would leave the head as it is makes it more of a statement

[mk1leg]

thanks I think thats what I will do....keep it alloy......should I get it Lacqeured......

[sonikk4]

Yup another for keeping the head as is. Might have issues lacquering it though. Not sure if there is a proper high temp one on the market.

[fwdracer]

You can get clear VHT exhaust temp aerosols that may be suitable.

 

Kit looks mega. What cam spec is being used. Assume this is essentially a road car motor?
