they look the same but are totally different when it comes to the inside casting. same as the reverse head but just not reversed if you know what i mean, and if are talking about the first pic no its not a standard head at all.

2nd set of pics have metal bodies, he said carbon bodies.
well in that case no its not just a standard head, its reversed mate.
mmmmmmmmmm stand off injectors!!
more like mmm swindon roller barrels!
Check out that flywheel too!
my flwheel is very similar, just a bigger diamaeter as i didnt fancy a 5.5'' clutch
How hard is it to hammer in to peoples heads that it isn't just as simple as sticking the damn head on? jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez! Nobody in their right mind would be stupid enough to put a 'proper' full on Swindon XE in a Nova, there is absolutely no point in it unless you want to waste thousands upon thousands of pounds.
Bearing in mind the main reason for reversing the head was for exhaust flow - tiny amount of power to be found when traded off against the work and expense required.
To satisfy anybody's curiosity however, here are a couple of pics of this years Vectra BTCC engine bays - engines built by a French firm whose name I keep forgetting
