Hello:
Steve Darby contacted me after visiting my web page about his
crossflow head for MGBs. I thought this info may be of interest. I
have absolutely no knowledge or experience with this product, I'm just
passing the info on.

Here is some info on my newest project, a crossflow head. It will give the
1500cc-1800cc engine lots of power. Later I will try to adapt an Eaton
Supercharger to the head.
MGB Crossflow Heads
No more cracks--MORE power--Bolt on ease.
New design heads with 25%-40% more flow than the old HRG heads,
with longer life from a better water jacket.
BARE HEADS INCLUDE:
*Four intake ports on the spark-plug side of the head.
