Oh , it is the twin port !!
Phizinza's ??
Sam, you will never learn!
What does dad say about this then? I recall his budgetary constraints on a cam regrind.
Not doing it over Easter are you ?

Sam is trying to show us the different head design - no intake porting to the front and rear - straight through

WINNER!! WINNER!!!spike wrote:running duel carbs?
Damn I was out moving it into the shed when you wrote that so pics are a few minutes late
Great guess Spike. And, it most certainly is a complete dual carb EA81
:mrgreen::mrgreen: manifold, proper D/C heads, cam the whole lot. I've been contacting Phizinza for a week or two about offers and things, keeping it hush hush you know since I wasn't sure if I would get it. Then finalized offers etc and went this morning to pick it up 
A nice drive down the Fleurieu, haven't been down that way for a few years, forgotten how nice of a drive it is! A good chat and a wad of cash later we were leaving with this in the back

While it is in dads L Series......why not test in there first - keep you mobile in the Bullet ?

Johnno as to your worries about funding, never fear never fear I had the money in the bank; I've secured a full time job since the last engine drama and now have money (albeit in small installments) to pour into my car now but I believe I'll be leaving this cam stock since it is different to the single carb one.
What does dad say? Not alot, when Phizinza posted the ad I didn't have enough to make a sensible offer really so I asked to borrow some form Dad, he said yes since I could pay him back in a week or two. However I wasn't aware I was getting paid over the holidays so almost the next day I had enough, didn't have to borrow any. He's not unhappy about it, but I don't think he appreciates what this engine is as much as I do
So, what am I going to do with it? For the immediate future it will be sitting tucked away in the back corner of the shed while I save up to get it professionally rebuilt. No idea on cost at this stage but depending on how keen I am I might get oversized pistons and new valve springs (Phizinza told me they broke on this engine once) Going to get the carbs rebuilt (NOT by me over easter) and will probably keep the Hitachi's for the time being. Once that is done I will probably have to wait again until I can afford to get a 2" exhaust system, then install the whole lot in the car. I seriously can't wait until that day. I've promised Phizinza it will be all done this year so I can give him a ride in it

In a word "NICE"
Would fit very nicely into my 82 MY touring wagon.

You will need to do something about the exhaust system, as the twin carb motor I had needed a custom exhaust. the twin carb motor exhaust ports are way bigger than the stock exhaust ports.

Yeah I know, Phizinza included the Y pipe and it is different. I could either clean that up and bolt it to the new system or use it as a guide to get another one made, unsure at this stage since that's a few months off yet.TOONGA wrote:You will need to do something about the exhaust system, as the twin carb motor I had needed a custom exhaust. the twin carb motor exhaust ports are way bigger than the stock exhaust ports.

Could I trouble you for a few more pics of around the head (mainly the inlet entry) as this looks different to my EA81S that I got from Japan.Silverbullet wrote:
