Found this strange head at a swapmeet

[2.216VTurbo]

OK, JK, but they were looking for some shots of this head on another forum and they don't let me put up any decent sized pics there:(

Notice the same blue carpet as in Todd's pic?:D No socks though...

Just like Bigfoot... this is the famous, yet elusive Hans Herman/ Shelby 16v head for the 2.2. The predecessor to the 16v Lotus and 16v Masi heads. The one they should have gone with.

The owner wanted to get a better look at the ports so he cut it up! I kid, I kid. :D Okay to have another beer iturbo, It's a two piece. Yes, it is way different than a Lotus 16V. The combustion chamber is sort of close though, at least compared to the Cosworth chamber. The HH head used flat top pistons and had a 7.5 CR! The Cosworth head needed a -47cc dish on their piston to achieve approx. the same CR. Valvetrain is close to Cosworth design, or should I say Cosworth is close to HH design? Or would you believe VW? Seems logical that they should have put this convertible head on the convertible TC.:p Think of it as the grandpa of the 2.2 16V's. Grandpa is looking good in his old age.

What are you going to do with it? how much did you get it for?

I've been going to a bunch of swapmeets lately:D Naw, it's a friends head another 16V Masi guy. Of course has a few very nice 8V cars too, next race he is going to give Boyd a real challenge for the California fastest Omni crown:eyebrows: Our plan is to complete it with all the required valvetrain to run and then probably just caress it...

Very cool, :thumb:
