Re: English 180A de luxe pheaton in "The Restorer"
Well - the AF head atop a stock Diamond B has been a bit of fun. Pulled a 3.27 through the Cotswolds no problem. Steady 60 and more cruising along in comfort.
Pity the head gasket went yesterday (out dragging a tuned Morris Minor of all things for ten or so miles on a dual carriageway) - but not surprising as it was pre-owned... I'd put the engine together just to see how it runs. Pulling the head is no biggy as it could do with a new set of rings.
