Is it worth me getting the divider and matching the heads - if I still have the exhaust manifold restrictions?

Might as well, while you're at it. Might be worth looking into 2.6 / 3.2 exhaust manifolds and whether they'd fit easily too.

Looks like LPG took a tax hike in the budget ( 3p a kg from September) so might be worth seeing what happens to prices.  :(

As far as I know I'd have to modify my downpipes to fit...  :-/

MDTM reckons a tuned smaller V6 will not damage the box.

The porting will add about 3 to 5 bhp we reckon. looks like about 1 to 2mm all round to be grinded out.

Mark what is the best bit for aluminium - last one I did was cast iron

I am going to use a B&D Wizard but not sure which bit, got loads of cylindrical sanding bits but only one milling bit.

You're only just up the road - can get together for a day if you fancy messing with some heads... :y
