ahhhhh way to long ago then, may be an off chance we have it, but doubt it.
i have a 1.2 sitting at work, are the ports no to small though? i use the 1.4 se head as the ports are fairly large and round to suit the inlet. had a bit of head work done aswell.Originally Posted by Novasport
i may have a swap around if it will imrope the performance.
has anyone tried it?

Ports are smaller but IIRC they flow better on 1.2 head.
If I was to do the 1.6 bottom end with 1.2 crank (short) I would probably use the 1.2 head, 1.3 Cam, 1.3 inlet & manifold (same inlet ports as 1.2).
Would scream to the moon, but Im sure there would be problems.
You probably have the later 1.2 engine, you need the earlier 12ST engineOriginally Posted by Dirtydog1
that was when novas were new!!!!!Originally Posted by matt_vaughan
Sorry to Hijack, but I'm looking at this and making a shopping list up.
1.2 ST Engine
1.3 Crank, Rods and Pistons
Weber 32/34 Carb?
1.4 SR Cam?
Are the cam and carb up too the job?
I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

So just to clarify, do you use the 1.2 or 1.3 pistons? are they the same?
1.3 Pistons, rods and crank.
