1.2 nova

[cockney16v]

i have a 1.2 nova and i would like to no what the biggest size head i can put onto the block and if it will make any difference.
if you can put bigger head on which cam would you use

[Adam]

Stick with the 1.2 head, if its a carb'd 1.2 engine.

[cockney16v]

yes it is a carb if i change carb to a webber what would i need to change

[Welsh Dan]

Inlet manifold, and cam to something like a 270.

[Adam]

For a weber 32/34, use a 1300 inlet.

[cockney16v]

will the webber fit straight on to a 1300 inlet.what is a rough price to pay for one of these carbs

[Welsh Dan]

There was one up on the forums for ?70ish the other day, friend of mine is selling his in mint cond for ?200, so in that range.

[Stuart]

tbh unless you really really want to keep the 1200 then leave it std....

[ade]

for the amount of extra work for the additional gains it would be a hell of a lot cheaper sticking a 1.4 carbbed engine and whacking a weber 32/34 on it - or get a 1.6 engine.

Nope, you need a metal adaptor plate.
