Seen Zetecs have 8 valve heads put on, but never seen the other way round, cool.

Old too, early 80s.

Seems Shrick only ever made FOUR for Ford to test, after testing they were ordered to all be destroyed, but this one was sly'd away, and now is the only one left in existance





Well cool i think

 

I've heard of them before, but never known anything about them

Im sure when gus see's this, he'll post the link he sent me a few weeks back

 

so it means that one lucky bast..d will have one.....

 

Saw it on XR2 forum, looked very cool.

 

cool indeed.

 

Wonder why they never produced them?

 

Wasn't something similar made for the pinto?
(not the YB before the smartarses jump to their keyboards)

 

Engine bay looks very nice looks a very well built car any more picture of it stav?

 

warrior and piper made some 16 valve heads

and osmeone made a twin cam 8 valve head for them too

Very nice car

 

Millington maybe?

Some more pics/info on this. http://www.rs1600i.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=88

 

Fuck it, got beaten...


Very nice car

 

i belive piper made some twin cam 8v heads for pinto aswell

 

they did

 

i know this is gonna sound daft, but a cvh head fits onto a zetec block, does it also work the other way around, not that i can see a point to it but just wondering

 

phat up

 

10,000rpm sounds fun

 

thats pretty special then

 

that car looks awsome and the engine is very unique

must be worth a feature surely

 

The engine will be priceless if its the only one left.

 

fook me thats a bit special

 

Awesome car

Just needs a proper 16i rear spoiler

 

There was a feature in a german magazine that my friend used to get, that was in 1980 when my dad bought his xr3 so I was interested in it, but don't remember much other than they were being sold by a german firm for a racing series that had started up, but mucho DM they cost!!
tabetha

 

wow what a piece of kit

 

Never seen or knew anything about that.

Good find

 

Cool bit of trivia, but doubt it offers any benefits at all over a zetec motor, and at least you can buy off the shelf cams for a zetec

 

it wouldve when it was made.

for example, it existed

 

Indeed, but I was talking about now, not back then.

 

I know, but that wouldnt have made a workable joke
