Mounting cylinder heads without a gasket?

Ok, you don't seem to be getting the point

1) You CAN NOT put Clevland heads on a Windsor based motor without having machine work done to the heads. The Clevland style water jacket ports have to be plugged and new Windsor style ports have to be drilled in the heads. If you don't do this no water will flow through the heads.


2) You have two and ONLY two choices. You can run a special intake built for this application, which are getting very rare and hard to find, to my knowelage no company currently makes a intake for this application. OR you can run a windsor style intake and use a set of adaptor plates, there are a few companys that still make these.

3) The Clevland 2v heads have 75cc chambers. This will drop you compression to roughly 8.2:1 with stock pistons. The Clevland heads also have canted valves, so the valve reliefs in the stock pistons no longer match up to the valves. This limits your maximum lift you roughly .470" lift. Even the the FMS alphabet cam with the mildest lift (B-303) has .480 lift. The E-303 has a .498" lift.


IMHO you would be much better off just picking up a set of GT-40 irons somewhere. I got mine fro $275.
