Still cleaning out shed.Found these items again.
They will go on the panel van's 1098 so the engine bay doesn't look so spacious.
Cooper head,1 1/2" SUs plus extractors.

12G295 is indeed a cooper head. Wrong Gary I know but as I used to race minis I thought I'd mention it

I had a ported and polished big-valve 12G295 head on my mini 1000 - dyno'ed 58bhp at the wheels, with a 948 cam, extractors and twin 1.25" SUs.
Unmolested 12G195 heads are rare as hens teeth.

This head came off a car that had travelled @40k miles.
Valves not pocketed but will get a service.

Sounds like you might have got an Alladins Cave of rare goodies.
