Default getting there... :)

evening gents..it's been a while, but work has been getting in the way..

well, as a start to my summer project part collection, some bits have arrived

From a p1800e (B20) in Scotland, i have a lovely twin downpipe manifold and aluminium inlet manifold set. And from California, i received a fairly tidy pair of SU's off a 142 (B20B), which I'm going to play with over winter..

Now to prioritise the order of events..

1. i've been reading around, as one does, and think i should probably do the head and cam first now, before putting on the carbs and manifolds. i.e. skim 2mm and unleaded conversion. This way, i can see that what has gone in is good. drive around for a week or so.

2. apply carbs, and manifolds and if i can, mate the current exhaust to the 2-1 downpipe and the following week get the exhaust done.

anyone else gone this route, or suggest a better way to go? Should i just go and get a b20 head instead of messing with the b18a? if so which one?

any thoughts?

regards,

Gareth
