Massive Head Work a/k/a Giving Head
As someone with one foot firmly in the two-wheel camp and the other happily grounded in the old-school four-wheel world, I would really like to know how heads from an overhead-cam Porsche 911 were mated with a pushrod Porsche 912 (***** 356) block, never mind fitting it into a BMW two-cylinder (versus four-cylinder Porsche motor) chassis. Either someone did some very canny valve work, or else someone has waaaaaaay too much access to a whole lot of machine tools without a steady guiding hand - or thought.
Solexes suck anyway. Viva le Maestro!
