Bill Saidel asks:
"3. Can one describe the significance of the cross-flow head advertised in
Moss vs the standard for only street driving? (Bit pricey but I can ask!)"
Bill:
I ran the Pierce cross-flow head on my +.020, mild cam MGB for one year
before installing a Fab-Tek-built 90% race engine. I turned nearly
identical lap times at Lime Rock with both combinations. That proves the
value of the head. In addition, it develops incredible power at low rpm's.
>From idle to 3,000, it was is if I had an additional engine in the car. It
has only one drawback - virtually no clearance between the top of the
alternator & the bottom of the manifold for the SU's. Only about enough
room for a piece of cardboard. With a pair of DCOE's, you may not have that
problem.
