Does anyone out there know anything about the Dolomite Sprint Saloon?
I was considering doing a 16V conversion to my TR7's engine, but the only
way I've been able to find the head, is in a complete race engine. (BPD?)
They won't sell a conversion kit, and I don't want the Webers, and the overall
tune of the engine sounds unstreetable. I would like to build (myself) a hot
street motor, not a Group 3 race car. Does anyone know if a conversion _kit_
exists? Or do I have to import the parts myself? Does anyone know of a good
book on the subject? I love the (whiney) sound of the little four-banger, but
I want more power. I am about to do a V8 conversion, but I would still like to
check out the 16-valver. Does anyone know about the reliability of the head?
The literature I got (from the same place selling it) said it is much more
reliable than the stock 8V head. (but you have to take that with a grain of
salt)
Thanks,
Kevin
