    Ported head on a stock a20a2 (carb)

    My friend is trying to sell me a head that has been rebuilt and ported by a professional shop (I also know the shopkeeper and his work).
    My engine is stock a20a2 with 160000km's
    What kind of problems would I encounter if I buy and install this head on my otherwise stock engine (only a bigger exhaust).
    -Regrind my cam?
    -Bigger carb?
    -Webers or Dellorto's?

    Would it run well if I keep all the other parts stock? The head is also lowered for more compression.
    It's very cheap, about 200$ so I might buy it anyway and put it in storage for the time I need my head rebuilt.

    Thanks!

    if you swap the carb and the cam along with the head you should be in for a nice jump in HP.

    if you know for a fact that the shop and machinist who did the work is reputable, i don't see why you shouldn't get it. have it checked for cracks first though.
