Hi guys .
Been thinking for a while about a few modifications engine wise . While mine runs lovely , good oil pressure , smooth . I would like to get some bits up together and build it up when the time feels right ( next winter ) . Not a mad high revving monster just a few of the more common mods . Was thinking 3.9 cam , uprated timing gears/chain , sd1 heads , ceramic manifolds , electric fan . Would want to use my carbs as i rebuilt them few months ago , and i have electronic ignition . I,m in no hurry , the idea is to get the bits up together over the next 8/10 months as and when they turn up , and funds allow . ( plus i wanna burble around all summer ) .
I have seen sd1 heads on ebay , what serial no should they have ? What manifolds ( exhaust ) would i need to use with them ?
Where is the best place to source cam (3.9) and lifters , timing set etc . Obviously the heads will be second hand/rebuilt but i want all the rest new .
From what i've read on here this would make a nice engine , a little extra torque without ruining the character of the thing .
What do you thing of my specification , idea ?
All advice welcome , but not too technical at this early stage , i'm only at the planning/ thinking stage at the moment !
