    I'd be up for that, but when Zedy1 (Mo) had a look, I think he found that the 6A12 heads don't quite line up with the 6A13 block...

    The problem is that the mivec heads are taller requiring a different timing belt. Also the cumbustion chambers are bound to be different sizes giving you compression ratio headaches. I am sure it is possible to do it........but at what cost? Remember a head set will set you back £300! :rolleyes5
