Who is the best at gas flowing the 8v head that is still in buisness or not dead.

Company names and prices would be great.

Am i right in thinking the company that took over from blydenstein no longer exists?

Anyone had any dealings with CNC heads.

cnc heads charge a fortune, they may get 1-2bhp more but is that really worth a grand extra?

Yeh, CNC want around £1300 which includes the flowed head, cam, springs and enlarged valves.

Its a lot of money right enough. Ive probably spent less on the rest of the car excluding the engine mods.

Ive emailed autosprint for a comparison. Any others that I can try?

So had anyone taken over from Bill Blydenstein and were still doing his B+ heads or were they lost for ever with his passing?
