ST170 head onto silvertop?
Can't find anything in a search, thought it had been covered before!
Can the ST170 head be bolted onto the silvertop block? trying to find some info out for a friend.
Cheers

Could you not use a remote water pump?

Fit a David craig electrical water pump and modify the standard water pump so it doesn't foul the belt.

Whats the score with VVT? How does it work with a turbo car, do you have to map it differently?
