    Is this an ABF? And the gearbox, is that an 02A with an 02J shift tower? Interesting. I would love to see an ABF on carbs.

    More pix please.

    What are you running to control the spark?

    Exhaust looks good, where did you get it?

    Cheers

    Isn't the AAD motor normally an 8v? I thought you couldn't fit a 16v head to any 8v block?

    I've got KR, 9a and a ABF head but all 3 blocks need a rebore and new pistons. If I can fit the 9a or ABF head to an AAD motor it would make things much simpler.
