As I may be swapping heads at some point, does anyone have a pair of 2..0-litre cylinder head shrouds (they have the spark plug hole on a different location to 1.7/1.8 tins) they wish to sell?
Not worried about paint condition, just not rusty or bent.

1.7 and 1.8 engines have the plugs going in from the top, the 2.0-litre 914 heads have the plugs going in from the side.

Yes it is possible, but if I can find some 'correct' ones. I'd prefer to go that route.
