well in a year im going to fully rebuuild her maybe new head depending on if this one holds out untill then. but everything blue printed and balanced, ported head (havent really thought about it yet but might do) just make her into a brand new engine and do some slight alternations with her to gain a little more power im not wanting lots more just to make it a nicer engine and a set of extractors. you might be thinking why the F would you waste money on a F10a i couldnt care what you think i love my 1 litre i think its a great little motor and would never think about changing it out to something larger. as well as a full car rebuild/ restore but do some other bits to it suspension 2 inch and maybe lockers both ends and lil muddys
