    A guide thats real funny thousands upon thousands of pounds of development and research went into build BTCC spec motors! Theres no guide! Theres no "how to"!!!!

    Give up now, I garantee you will not never ever no no figure out, plan out, manufacture let alone even afford to do it!!

    With regards to management, BTCC cars used a system with a stack dash, flappy gearbox paddle, gear shift light telling what gear etc etc so around £8ks worth.

    if you really want one just call swindon race engines, they will sell you all the bits needed to do it, you cannot use a stock head and just spin it round, they were cast especially

    no advanatage with ram air til 80odd mph, and you would have to make a tunnel to route the exhaust manifold.

    £7/8k maybe for just a complete head? about £16k for an engine

    its not 8k for the head, more like 4/5, but tbh, it just sounds like dreamland, if you think you could use the ports in reverse
    the shape and size are totally different, and one wont want to work as the other and vice versa, then there is valve size to consider, its just a no tbh
    and its nothing to do with ram efect anyway, it all about the better exhaust design that become available to you with the head the other way round,and we're not talking lots of gains here
