The head on ebay is actually mine... Selling it as i want to buy a matched set eventually... for this coming season i am going to focus on getting the car running well on the dual webers which i just bought the rebuild kit for.

Bill Calcagno and I are going to do a decent setup... Levitas offered me his assistance and dyno time for optimally tuning them for the stock 1.7L... he is already making fun of me for the lack of power

Matched set? Don't know if there is such a thing. So you want 2L heads? Still need 2.0 tin.

Matched set is nuts. Much easer to find a single head of same vintage. 2 heads = running motor. Dun' blowed" up motor = one good head. Lot more single heads sitting around cheap. By the time you get through cleaning checking and machining in new valve seats, guide and whatever other machining the are the same.

Will a 1.7 turn the drums on a wheel dyno?

My 912 owns the "lowest measured HP" award from the Potomac dyno event. (got the trophy to prove it too)
