I used this on an e50 from a 1978 Magnum XK. I've gone many miles this summer. Top speed around 48mph. It's solid. No issues. I did have to use another head gasket though. It's lighter than the stock cylinder by roughly 2 lbs... shave'n off the weight is cool.

a couple of quirks

i got mine on a super sale so not too bad but a couple of weird things...
yes ya need a bigger base gasket...check yer squish
the wrist pin was too long to allow the circlip to install (used my stock one)...
if ya want the fins to match the head ya have to rotate the head which uncovers the decomp hole in the cylinder which means ya gotta seal that off... i tapped the decomp hole and put in a 6mm set screw... i'm pretty happy but ya gotta pay attention... update...benji hooked me up with the correct wrist pin, lost some low end but ...tune yer clutch and hitting 38 on a 1.5hp nostalgia

I had one of these from a few years ago. Just get the port timing right with the correct base gasket thickness. Not rocket science!!! With a 14 bing and a homet 4p stock crank and points ingnition on 16 x 45 gears it dyno tested 4hp at almost 12k rpms and did 45mph no prob on a maxi. I think I will get another one to heavily port and try to see if I can get 60mph with the help of an hpi and lightened crank
