Strange, twin cam... Go to all that effort producing castings and then only use 8 valves. Must have been designed for a particular series stipulating
8v??

was actually made just for rallying , so they had a wider powerband - they were much cheaper than warrior heads , but because of the expense and
cosworth just about on the scene by then , not many were sold . I believe it was also an attempt at getting rid of the dreaded cam follower/cam
failure that was so often in pintos .

Anyone have any idea what sort of power was available from this head?

i would'nt say it was of the rocking horse variety, but looks like some derivative.
and if it was real piper, would'nt the rocker cover look a bit more professional than that?
what lubes the cam lobes?

I think it's probably real - it gets a mention on spanner fodder.com
http://www.spannerfodder.com/the_works_escorts-pinto.php
It looks as though oil from the cam bearings flows out onto the buckets and lubes the lobes that way?

most certainly are real , and no there isnt many about , compared to the thousands of locost derivatives . I think at the time , the spec was about
190 hp , which in those early days was quite good . But that only came about because of the better cams you could use for the engine .

it looks a bit amateur to me, not that thats a bad thing, a bit rough around the edges, really interesting though and if it goes as well as suggested
who gives a sh*t what it looks like
