Although this is a 202 casting it gives me an idea what they cost today.

Maybe it's the angle or light, but that intake doesn't look to be cut too cleanly

Potato - to build a similar head you would need a 12G295 casting to start with so there's $150.00 just to start with (at least that is what I just saw for the surcharge if you don't provide a casting) and with today's prices you are looking at over 2K for the finished product.

Alex, back in the day when Mini Spares was still located in London on Friern Barnett Road the modified heads they sold were provided by Longman.  I purchased this one from them around 30+ years ago.

Trying to get a idea of the value of a 12G295 head modified by Longman.  I also have 3 or 4 other 295's but just bare castings.
