Yes. Its still on my car though, a 1971 1800E. My car was converted to carbs by a previous owner, so the injector holes are blocked off. Do you need them open or blocked? If open then I'll need to see if they are bolted or welded shut. I bought my car up North a year ago, drove it back to Somerset & drove it another 100 miles or so with no indication of any head faults. Recently I found a polished/ported head/hardened seats head on ebay, so had planned to swap them over in Spring .... my carport is freezing & the car is on blocks for the next few months. Guess I could be encouraged to remove it though! Michael

Hi Dave, I found I can't reply to a PM yet as I have not had 30 posts. Guess I'd better start posting drivel then, so I can PM!
Yeah relatively speaking its not so far from Bristol, I'm between Taunton & Yeovil. I don't have the FI injectors or manifold. I do have one ecu still fitted in the car, and a spare ecu. Also a few injection bits lying about. From memory (as I'm at work) they are probably things like fuel pressure regulators, I'm not really sure seeing I took little interest in them. As these items have been passed down over a couple of owners, who knows if they work ... but then they wouldn't have been kept if didn't I'd think.
The head will be complete with valves & springs but I will need to keep the rockers as they did not come with the new head.
Aren't you better off, seeing it seems you want to go injected, getting everything from one source? Also, if you are wanting to use the injectors, I really should look at the head to see how they were blanked off as on the 'new' head I bought, they were sealed by a cut off bolt with a dab of weld on top !
So. I'll check the head, probably on Saturday, & come back to you. On eBay the B20E heads seem to go for £60 - £100 in good used condition. ECU's fetch a lot if they can be guaranteed as good, but I can't make that guarantee ... but the chance of two of them both being useless is slight. I'd take £60 for the head. If you come along, make an offer on the other injection bits ... I'd be happy with £25 for the 2 ecus & whatever else I can find. Regards, Michael

Thanks Michael. You make good points. Presently i want it for carbs, down the road who knows. Tbh if I get that far I'll want to megasquirt it anyway probably. £60 sounds good, thanks. Let me know what you find out, cheers.
It's a right pita that pm rule.
