Looking for idea's to Twin port an Augusta cylinder head whilst i'm building an engine , I finished one off on a car that someone had started a few years ago , i'm just looking for inspiration and the best idea as obviously once you've cut a hole in a cylinder head there's no going back !

Mine looks like this. There is a plate welded inside the head to stop the exhaust from the front two cylinders getting further back than the front pipe. It would pay to have a couple of flexible joints in the downpipes, as they attach to the head at different angles.

that looks a tidy job , is the square plate welded to the head too or bolted? the car that i finished had had the fins machined off then flange bolted straight to the head

The flange is attached to the head with countersunk screws.

Will not allow me to add photos and says "timed out" even when I close, reopen and do it as fast as I can. I can email if need be.
