Lovely condition 711m, possibly for sale. Brisbane

Hi guys. I have a 1600 crossflow Left over from my last escort build and due to the corona and severe boredom, I’ve stripped it to have the block dipped. As it’s in such great internal condition and too good to just sit in the shed, I thought I’d gauge interest in possibly selling it on. As I’ve ch..

What early Kent inlet manifolds won't work with a 711M block & head?

Hi all, I've read in a few places that some older Kent inlet manifolds (E.g. MK1s and even early MK2s) won't work with later Kent motors; is this true and if so - does anyone have any details on what part numbers are incompatible with the later motor? I've got a 711F down-draft manifold on the motor..
